  • Gib Sanborn - 1975
Sanborn was involved in the sport of hockey for 53 years as a player, referee, team manager, secretary and state association officer.  A resident of Eagle River, Sanborn formed a team called the Iceland Wasps in 1926. That team became the Eagle River Falcons in 1932. Sanborn mostly played defense but after sustaining an injury, managed Eagle River teams that won many state titles.  He officiated for 30 years.  He was not only a pioneer in the game of hockey, but along with Chuck Taylor who owned the Jack O’Lantern property, was cosponsor of the construction of the Eagle River Sports Arena. He helped found the Eagle River Recreation Association in 1950 and served as its secretary for many years.  He was one of ten original charter members inducted into the Wisconsin Hockey Hall of Fame in 1975
