BC Wheelchair Basketball Society congratulates former Canadian men's national wheelchair basketball athlete and Cablecars alumni Peter Colistro on his induction into the Basketball BC Hall of Fame. Colistro was inducted into the 2016 class at an awards gala that took place on May 14th in Vancouver.
Colistro represented Canada at three Paralympic Games (1976, 1980, 1984) and two world championships (1979, 1986). In 1986, he led his team to a silver medal. He is also a two-time Paralympic medallist in wheelchair athletics.
Colistro also played for the Vancouver Cable Cars from 1971-1986. The Cable Cars were one of the most dominant provincial clubs in Canadian wheelchair basketball history and Colistro was a part of the team that won six straight national championship titles.
Congratulations to Peter on this well-deserved honour!
