Hall of Fame
In recent years, women's hockey at the University of Guelph has reached new heights, with the Gryphons winning three OUA titles in the past six seasons, including the program's first national title in 2018-19. But it was back in the late 1960's and early 1970's where the University of Guelph first established championship roots when it comes to intercollegiate women's hockey.
Entering the Gryphon Hall of Fame in 2022 under the 'team' category, is a collection of five different U of G women's hockey teams ranging from the late 1960's-to-mid-1970's. This golden era of women's hockey at the University of Guelph remains, to this day, as one of the most successful and influential eras in Gryphon Athletics history. Led by a Gryphon Hall of Fame coach in Shirley Peterson, the University of Guelph claimed six conference titles in women's hockey during that span, establishing the Gryphons as perennial powers on the ice within the W.I.A.U. and O.W.I.A.A. (Women's Intercollegiate Athletic Union & Ontario Women's Intercollegiate Athletic Association).
