The Alberta Amateur Sports Hall of Fame was founded by the Alberta Branch of the Amateur Athletic Union of Canada (A.A.U.C.)

The first inductees into the Alberta Amateur Sports Hall of Fame.

Molson’s Edmonton House was the first location to displays photos of inductees.

Dissolution of the A.A.U. of C. meant that the Alberta Amateur Sports Hall of Fame would now be administered by Sport Alberta, through its Board of Directors.

Under the stimulus of the forthcoming 75th Anniversary of the Province, program objectives were broadened by Sport Alberta to begin to honour all outstanding Alberta Athletes, amateur or professional, and to begin to collect memorabilia which reflected the whole of Alberta's sporting heritage.

Celebrating Alberta's 75th Anniversary, the newly named “Alberta Sports Hall of Fame and Museum” inducted forty-six athletes and builders, including professional athletes for the first time. ASHFM started collecting artefacts for its permanent collection.

A contest was held and a logo was chosen from over 120 submissions. The design shows the athlete supported by the Alberta Mountains, reaching for the flame of triumph. The two halves of the design symbolize the two aspects of the ASHFM - Hall of Fame and Sport Museum. Informal conversations were first held with the Premier regarding a permanent home for the Hall of Fame. The Program mandate was altered to regulate the number of inductees honoured each year to a maximum of seven.

The 25th Anniversary of the Hall of Fame was celebrated with 300 people in attendance at the Induction Banquet.

First exhibit was created in the Petro Canada Centre in Calgary. The Alpine Building (Calgary) and the Percy Page Centre (Edmonton) also displayed artifacts.

The ASHFM became a Standing Committee of the Alberta Sport Council on February 1, newly formed Alberta Sports.

The Alberta Sport Council announced that Red Deer would become the new and permanent home for the ASHFM once funds were raised to build, equip, and endow it.

An act of legislation resulted in a merge of the Alberta Sport Council with the Alberta Sport, Recreation, Parks and Wildlife Foundation. The ASHFM remained as a program of the Foundation. The ASHFM relocated from Calgary to the Red Deer Provincial Building on October 1.

The Alberta Sports Hall of Fame and Museum was incorporated as a charitable society February 26, 1997. Governed by a Board of Directors, the Hall of Fame and Museum Society continued to fundraise to build a new and permanent home in Red Deer.

May 22, the Alberta Sports Hall of Fame and Museum officially broke ground towards building a permanent home in Red Deer.

July, the Alberta Sports Hall of Fame and Museum moves to its new permanent location by Heritage Ranch in Red Deer.

After a tender process was held, the Alberta Sports Hall of Fame & Museum officially opened May 26. Founder Willard Brooks, Edmonton Grad Margaret (MacBurney) Vasheresse, and Chairman Orest Korbutt cut the ceremonial ribbon at the QE2 highway location. Almost 1000 people attended the Induction Banquet.
