The Manitoba Association of Basketball Officials extends its thanks to all members and supporters who attended the 2026 MABO Annual General Meeting, both in person at Sport Manitoba and online through Zoom on June 23.
The evening provided an important opportunity to review reports, complete elections, recognize years of service, and discuss key items shaping the future of basketball officiating in Manitoba. Congratulations to all officials recognized for their years of service, as well as Rod Peppler, who was honoured posthumously with the MABO Golden Whistle Award; Rick DeGagne, recipient of the Ted Early Memorial Award; Reid Kenyon, who was inducted into the WMBA Hall of Fame; and Liam Weinfortner, named WMBA Referee of the Year.
Thank you to everyone who continues to contribute their time, leadership and commitment to strengthening officiating and supporting the growth of basketball across the province.
