Today, we are pleased to announce Jim McPhee as the recipient of the 2025 Wilfred C. Molloy award. Jim's involvement with the Port Huron Minor Hockey Association commenced when his son, Jeff, became a player. Following a couple of years of observation, he offered his assistance to the Association. As fate would have it, an opportunity arose for him to assume the role of Bantam Division House League Convenor, which he readily accepted. Subsequently, after a couple of years, he chose to run for a position on the Board of Directors, securing a seat. This marked the beginning of his enduring commitment. Even after his son concluded his youth hockey career, Jim persisted in his volunteer work with the board, ultimately deciding to seek re-election upon the completion of his initial term. To this day, he remains an integral part of the PHMHA board, boasting a tenure spanning over two decades. He has held various leadership positions, including Vice President and President, a role he has occupied for nearly 20 years. Additionally, Jim has actively contributed to several committees for the Port Huron International Silver Stick Youth Hockey Tournament, including Music, Opening Ceremonies, and Fireworks and Lighting. His expertise has also been leveraged by the Port Huron Prowlers professional hockey team, as well as its predecessors, for music, fireworks, and lighting. In his leisure time, Jim enjoys DJing and spending summers on his boat with his wife, Patti.

Today, we honor our 2025 team inductee, the 1966 Port Huron Huskies Baseball team. During an era where the Eastern Michigan League was dominated by teams from the Detroit area, securing titles was a formidable challenge. Between 1950 and 1972, only two teams from Port Huron managed to win the coveted EML baseball title: the 1961 Port Huron High School Big Reds and the 1966 Port Huron Northern High School Huskies. Under the guidance of Coach Robert Clark and Assistant Coach Anthony (Tony) Bonito, the 1966 Port Huron Northern High School Baseball Team made history by becoming the first PHN Baseball team to win the EML title, achieving this feat in only the second year of the team's existence. The team's remarkable season concluded with seven wins in their last eight games, with the sole loss being to a non-conference team. Their title-winning record for the season stood at 11-3. Prior to 1971, the Michigan High School Athletic Association did not have a playoff system in place, leaving the '66 Huskies to ponder what could have been. The team's success was largely due to its strong pitching lineup, featuring Stewart Kilbourn, Thomas Stafford, and Gerald Weaver. Notably, Thomas Stafford became the first Northern pitcher to achieve a no-hitter, accomplishing this feat in an epic 1-0 battle against East Detroit. Stafford was subsequently inducted into the Port Huron Sports Hall of Fame in 2021. The team boasted impressive batting averages, with Gerald Weaver achieving .538, Michael Anglebrandt .375, Bernard Spaulding .360, Daniel Crocker .357, and Thomas Dagg .333. Larry Setter and Thomas Stafford were named to the 1966 All-Eastern Michigan League team, while Daniel Crocker received honorable mention. The team members were Michael Anglebrandt, William Angerbrandt, David Brown, Daniel Crocker, Thomas Dagg, David Eppley, Dale Goulette, Edward Harrison, Daniel Jex, Charles Kelly, Stewart Kilbourn, David King, Larry Mason, Frank Mitchell, Robert Papineau, Gregory Repp, Larry Setter, Bernard Spaulding, Thomas Stafford, and Gerald Weaver, with Norman Peacock serving as team manager

Today, the 2025 inductee spotlight shines on Dick Carrier, who holds the notable distinction of being one of the few student athletes from the Port Huron area to letter in both football and track at Port Huron Northern and Port Huron High Schools. Although he excelled in football, Dick truly distinguished himself in track, earning a place in the Sports Hall of Fame. His track career began at Chippewa Jr. High, where he made a name for himself with his unique style. In May 1967, during the seventh and eighth grade City Championship track meet at Memorial Park, Dick set a record in the 220-yard dash with a time of 26.4, achieving this feat while running barefoot. Three years later, on May 30, 1970, at the Meet of Champions Invitational Track Meet held at Memorial Stadium, Dick tied the 100-yard dash record with a time of 9.9 and set a record of 21.2 for the 220-yard dash. Notably, the record set in 1970 still stands in 2025, 55 years later. The late Coach Lowell Spiess reflected that one of the highlights of his career was witnessing Dick Carrier set the record on the old cinder track in 1970. This observation is particularly significant in light of the team's accomplishments that year: The 1970 Big Red track team won the Eastern Michigan League Championship (Duel & Tournament), with Dick placing first in the individual 100-yard and 220-yard dashes and participating in the first-place 880-relay team. The PHHS track team also emerged victorious in the Central Michigan Relays, where Dick contributed to the team's first-place finish in the sprint-medley event, second-place finish in the 880, and second-place finish in the 100-yard dash. At the Regional Championship in Waterford, Michigan, Dick placed first in the 100-yard and 220-yard dashes among twenty-one competing schools. In May 1971, Dick anchored the record-setting Port Huron High School 880 Relay team, achieving a time of 1:30.5, a record that stood for over forty-four years. In 1971, Dick once again distinguished himself as a title-holder in the 220-yard dash at the Meet of Champions, repeating his 1970 accomplishment.

When his football career ended, he returned to basketball and joined the St. Clair County Community College team for the 1995–96 season.

It's induction week! We're starting with Rick Rawlings! Rick Rawlings enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1980 and served in South Korea on the Demilitarized Zone. He attended Republic of Korea Ranger school, earning his ROK Ranger tab, and obtained his first-degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do while serving in Korea. Rick later earned his fourth-degree black belt training with the Blue Water Tae Kwon Do Club in Sarnia under Grand Master Norm Lepine and Grand Master James Taylor. From 2008 to 2019, Rick successfully completed 16 full Ironman races, widely regarded by endurance sports experts as the toughest endurance race globally. The Ironman Triathlon comprises a 2.4-mile open water swim, a 112-mile cycling section, and a 26.2-mile running marathon, with each event completed consecutively and within time cutoffs. To earn the Ironman medal, participants must complete the three events in under 17 hours. Rick successfully completed six Ironman races in Louisville, Kentucky, nine in Phoenix, Arizona, and the prestigious Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii, with most of his finishing times just over 11 hours. To qualify for the World Championships, athletes must meet strict criteria, with less than three percent of global triathletes qualifying. The event features professional triathletes and Olympic gold medalists from various disciplines, including triathlon, cycling, and swimming. Hawaii's challenging conditions include ocean swells, strong winds, and sweltering temperatures. Rick completed the Ironman World Championships in 13 hours and 38 minutes.
