Peter Becker
Peter was inducted as a 'builder' in 2022 and is the first New Zealander to have this honour.
He has been involved in every aspect of curling in New Zealand throughout his career. He skipped the first national men's team from New Zealand to compete at the Pacific-Asia Curling Championships in Sagamihara, Japan, in 1991 and went on to represent New Zealand at these championships six times, with the latest being in 2018 as an alternate. Peter has also represented New Zealand on the world stage nine times at the World Senior Curling Championships.
Peter has acted as a curling coach, manager, organiser, and team co-selector for various competitions, including the Winter Olympic Games, Women's and Men's national, and junior sides. He was also one of the main drivers in taking a New Zealand team to the Youth Olympic Games.
Peter was the Secretary of the New Zealand Curling Association from 1995 until 2009 and was also their representative to the World Curling Federation and New Zealand Olympic Committee.
Becker was also a key figure in developing the Naseby Indoor Curling Rink, which opened in 2005 and was the first dedicated curling facility in the Southern Hemisphere.
