A legend in the world of Canadian five-pin bowling is being inducted into the Canadian 5 Pin Bowlers' Association Hall of Fame for his accomplishments and contributions to the sport.
"I was very excited to be recognized," Nick DiVirgilio said. "I put 40 years of my life into bowling five-pin."
DiVirgilio, who will be officially inducted on June 3, has been called a legend in the sport of five-pin bowling, with major achievements at national and international championships. He was the top-ranked bowler in the country in 1990.
"That was one of the best memories," he said. "To achieve that, you gotta be the best in the game for [years]."
Another one of DiVirgilio's favourite memories was earning the bronze medal during an international tournament when he was 25.
"[It] was a surprise to me," he said. "I didn't think I would achieve that because, internationally, it was not one of my best bowls."
