Following a four-season playing career in the NHL, Costello earned induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2005 as a builder for his transformational leadership of both the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association and Hockey Canada, and his vision and passion drove both the establishment of the IIHF Women's World Championship and the addition of women's hockey to the Olympics. Additionally, Canada's success at the world junior level is a direct result of Costello's vision in the early 80's to establish a program of excellence that would produce 10 gold medals during his tenure as President of Hockey Canada from 1979 to 1998, including five straight from 1993 to 1997. We send our deepest condolences to Costello's family and many friends in the game all over the world.</q> Costello has also entered other Hall of Fames as well. In 2013, he was inducted in to Canada's Sports Hall of Fame, the IIHF Hall of Fame in 2014 and finally the Ottawa Sports Hall of Fame in 2023. Costello served as the President of Hockey Canada for two decades, and he was the one who created the Program of Excellence, as CAHA President. We would like to send our deepest condolences to the entire Costello family and all of his friends during this tragic time.
