Hall of Fame
Linda Pella’s long and impressive commitment to women’s athletics at U of T began with a passion for ice hockey during her student days. Linda was a prominent player on the WIAU ice hockey championship teams from 1961 to 1964.
After graduation, Linda’s contributions continued, through her role on the executive of the Women’s T-Holders’ Association. She has more than 20 years of service and was their president from 1994-96. In the early 1990s, Linda led the planning of three fundraising events to help save Varsity teams that were threatened with cancellation, including women’s ice hockey.
In 1995, Linda received a U of T Arbor Award, which recognizes alumni volunteers for outstanding service to the university, and she still serves as a member of the Women’s Athletic Association Trust Fund.
