New Milford High School
Athletic Hall of Fame Club
Dear friend of New Milford High School athletics,
The New Milford High School Athletic Hall of Fame hosted its inaugural induction banquet Oct. 28, 2017 at Fairview Farm Golf Course in Harwinton.
Twelve coaches and athletes representing a span of nearly 100 years of Green Wave sports were honored as our first class, including iconic coach/athletic director Joseph Wiser and legendary coaches Russell Devin and Fran Zaloski, as well as nine exceptional athletes ranging from Fred Collins, Class of 1933, to Ashley O’Connor, Class of 2010.
We hosted our second annual induction banquet on Oct. 27, 2018 at Fairview when we honored a dozen more athletes, ranging from Alfred "Sonny" Zaloski, Class of 1947, to Conor Kirkegard, Class of 2012.
Our third class of 12 inductees, crossing the years from the late Sam Blackman, Class of 1956, to Emma Crowcroft, Class of 2009, were inducted Nov. 2, 2019.
Our fourth induction banquet is now tentatively planned for Oct. 21, 2023 at Fairview Farm. The NMHS AHOF board would announce our next class of inductees months in advance of the banquet.
For all inductees' full Green Wave biographies and plenty of photos, see the accompanying pages here on this website.
We are a non-profit, 501(c) (3) organization and hope you will join us in our quest to honor the finest of Green Wave athletes, coaches and teams. Toward that goal, we have created the New Milford High School Athletic Hall of Fame Club.
