Florida Chapter
Official State Chapter of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame
FHSAA 2022 Championships, Silver Spurs Arena: Day One
The Hall of Fame's presence on the upper level of the Silver Spurs Arena had its largest footprint ever. With over 100 feet of display, 300 classic pictures, 35 historic state programs dating back to the earliest days of Florida wrestling, 3 video productions of high school history, Florida connected college coaches, and highlights of women wrestlers leading up to their first ever sanctioned championships. Hall of Fame Lifetime Service members Ira Fleckman and Bob Walker were on hand to share their 100 plus years experience with wrestling fans. Museum curator Pete Collins has archived Florida wrestling history so is can be displayed and shared with the grappling community.
