Hall of Fame

All Competitions

Rugby Ontario Hall of Fame

The time and date for the 2019 Hall of Fame dinner  is Saturday, November 23rd at Maple Banquet Hall, Mississauga, 6pm – 11pm

Nomination Details

At this stage, the Hall of Fame & Awards Committee (chaired by Domenic Scuglia) is seeking nominations for the Hall of Fame.

Who Can Nominate?

Nominations may originate from a member of a club, association, or Rugby Ontario’s Board of Directors, that are in good standing with Rugby Ontario.

What are the classes for nomination? 

There are 5 classes of Hall of Fame Inductees (Players, Teams, Coaches, Officials and Builders). Since 1999, the Hall of Fame has inducted an excellent group of alumni, especially in the Builder class. For 2018, whilst delighted to receive nominations in all classes, Rugby Ontario encourages members to especially consider the nominations of players, teams, coaches and officials.

Where do I send a nomination?

2020 information will be updated soon.

When is the deadline for nominations?

2020 information will be updated soon.

How is a nomination assessed?

All nominations received are assessed against the Hall of Fame Evaluation Rubric. This rubric contains five criteria (see table below) which are each scored on a 1 to 6 basis, providing for a possible maximum of 30 points. Each Hall of Fame Committee member votes on each nomination. A nominee requires a minimum of 20 points on 2/3 of the ballots submitted to be inducted, with a maximum of six candidates (plus ties) to be inducted in any one year. 

To assist the Committee to give full and proper consideration to all nominations received, only nominations submitted on the official nomination form providing information on each of the evaluation criteria, will be accepted.

Statement On Covid-19: Suspension Of Rugby Activities

(WHITBY, ON) – Rugby Ontario has been closely monitoring the rapidly evolving situation relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, and in response to growing concerns and public health directives, a decision has been made to suspend all rugby activities effective from midnight March 13, 2020 until at least April 10, 2020. During this time, no sanctioned rugby activity is permitted, including training sessions.

“Rugby Ontario’s number one priority is the safety and well-being of players, coaches, officials, volunteers, employees and parents participating in our sport across Ontario,” said Rugby Ontario CEO Myles Spencer. “The rugby community is a strong and resilient one, and we hope to see everyone enjoying the sport they love again very soon. We encourage all members to take care and stay in good health during this unprecedented time.”
