Also to be inducted will be former standout defensive backs Les Browne and Paul Bennett and builder Bob Ackles.

Browne, 42, spent 11 years in the CFL with Hamilton, Winnipeg, Ottawa and B.C. The native of East Liverpool, Ohio, was a six-time league all-star and still holds CFL records for most career interceptions (87), interceptions yards (1,508) and interception yards in a season (273). He appeared in four Grey Cups, winning three, including in 1994 when B.C. defeated expansion Baltimore 26-23 at B.C. Place in a game many billed as a battle between Canada and the U.S.
"I wear the '94 Grey Cup ring all the time because it was the first time Canada and the U.S. were playing in a Grey Cup game and it was the final game of my career," said Browne, now an assistant coach with Winnipeg. "But this (Hall of Fame) is better than winning the Grey Cup because I've got my kids watching and I'm so honoured and thrilled."
