Edgett's Legacy (Boxing Club)

In memory of boxing legend Bob Edgett who devoted his life for the sport of boxing. 

"For 58 years, until his death in 2011 at the age of 81, Edgett ran his boxing club out of this “sweat mine,” as it’s affectionately known. Once part of the old Mount Allison University gymnasium in Sackville, N.B., Edgett purchased the tiny structure for $100 in 1951 and had it moved to its present location near the outskirts of town on York Street in order to pursue his dream of starting a club for local boys. Since then, nearly 10,000 kids have come through the doors (girls started coming in the ’90s), all free of charge." DAVE ZARUM
