NSGA Sporting Goods Industry Hall Of Fame announced its Class of 2023, which includes James Clifford Keen, Cliff Keen Athletic; Jeff Lynn, Dunham’s Sports; and Kent McKeaigg, OrderMyGear.
They will join 178 retailers, team dealers, manufacturers and industry influencers who have been honored with induction into the Sporting Goods Industry Hall of Fame since it was established by the National Sporting Goods Association (NSGA) in 1955.
The selections of Keen, Lynn and McKeaigg were made by the Sporting Goods Industry Hall of Fame Committee at its annual meeting in May.
“We have an excellent group of inductees as the Class of 2023 who brought innovation to the industry in a variety of ways,” said Pat Donnelley, chairman, NSGA Board of Directors. “It is a tremendous thrill to welcome them to the Hall of Fame and to see them honored for their accomplishments.”
The Hall of Fame dinner and induction ceremony will be held May 23, 2023 at the W Nashville in Nashville, TN, the site of the 2023 NSGA Management Conference & Team Dealer Summit. Wilson “Bill” Hunt of Champro, from the Class of 2022, will also be inducted with the 2023 honorees.
