Inducted June 23, 2022

A talented athlete known for his leadership qualities, his defensive abilities, and his dedication to sport, it’s no wonder Eric Sloan had an amateur sporting career in New Brunswick that spanned nearly a decade. From hockey to football to lacrosse, Sloan adapted to each sport he took on seamlessly and was highly respected by his teammates and coaches for his commitment to the game. Sloan, having first picked up a hockey stick at the age of six, earned a number of accolades and awards as he moved up through the minor hockey ranks, even helping the Titans team earn a provincial title in his final year of high school as the team captain. Sloan also excelled at lacrosse during his school-aged years, helping the Sackville team win a provincial championship several times throughout the mid-1970s. He was later selected to the provincial all-star team that traveled to the Founders Cup Championships for Canadian Junior “B” Lacrosse. He also played high school football as a running back for two seasons. Sloan then moved on to play hockey in the Atlantic University Conference for four seasons with the Mount Allison Mounties. He was the only Sackville player to play for the hometown team during that time period, an era when Mount A hockey was at its pinnacle. He then went on to play with the Saint John Gulls in the NB Senior A League and the Riverview Trappers in the NB Intermediate A League, where the team won a provincial championship twice.
