In the builder category, former Gryphon football head coach
Stu Lang entered the Gryphon Hall of Fame for the immeasurable impact he has made over the years through his visionary and philanthropic efforts at the University of Guelph.
Saturday evening's event marked the 31st edition of the Gryphon Hall of Fame dinner and induction ceremony. The Gryphon Hall of Fame began in 1984 when the Gryphon Club recognized the need to honour the many athletes and builders who had made outstanding contributions to Athletics at the University of Guelph. Candidates are considered on the basis of playing ability, sportsmanship, character and exemplification of the spirit and ideals of the University of Guelph. To date, the Gryphon Athletics Hall of Fame now has 237 esteemed members (193 athletes, 44 builders) and 40 championship teams. Plaques of the athletes and builders bearing their pictures and highlighting their accomplishments are displayed in the newly re-designed "Hall of Fame Hallway" in the Guelph Gryphons Athletics Centre at the University of Guelph.
"Each and every one of our inductees into the 2022 Hall of Fame have made incredible contributions, not just to their respective sports, but to Gryphon Athletics as a whole," says Scott McRoberts, Director of Athletics at the University of Guelph. "It was an honour to be able to gather together on campus and celebrate with this deserving class of Gryphon Hall of Famers."
The Gryphon Hall of Fame takes place every two years, with the next induction ceremony scheduled to take place in June of 2024.
