The Executive Committee of Alpine Canada Masters are delighted to induct Mike Robbins to the Canadian Masters Hall of Fame. The prestigious Hall of Fame award was inaugurated in 2006; this recognition initiative is a fitting tribute to individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the growth and development of Masters’ alpine racing in Canada.
The nominee must bring a continued and consistent commitment to promoting the values, philosophy and integrity of fair play to sports; embody dedication, humour and loyalty to like-minded competitors. Always put sportsmanship first, inspiring other racers and newcomers and exemplifying the spirit of a well-rounded competitor.
Mike has a long ski racing history starting as a junior racer skiing out of the Osler Bluffs Ski Club. Mike returned to active competition in 1990 as a Masters racer; since then, he has competed nationally and internationally competing in many FMC events in Canada, USA, Europe and South America. In all, Mike has over 170 FMC starts with 41 podium finishes. In 2022, Mike was named Canadian Champion of Champions and in 2024, Mike won the FIS Overall Crystal Globe, in the 70-74 class. More information on Mike’s ski racing career can be found on our website.
This award was presented to Mike in absentia, as he was on business travel overseas, but he was certainly present virtually! During the banquet for the 2025 CAN FIS Masters Cup (FMC) event, held at Mont Garceau QC, he was greatly surprised and deeply touched to have been called via WhatsApp video, together with Stefano Arnhold, Chairman of the FIS Subcommittee for Masters Racing, who Mike knows very well from his many years of racing at the FMC level.
Mike is also very involved in many philanthropic activities including being an ardent supporter of the Canadian Alpine Ski Team.
Congratulations to Mike from all Masters around the globe!
Lloyd Sevack, Jaime Hugessen & Sharon Chadwick | Executive Committee
