Establishment of Hall of Fame for Gee-Gees Women’s Rugby
The 2024-25 season will mark milestone seasons for three of uOttawa's varsity programs, and to help celebrate the history of each sport, three new Gee-Gees Hall of Fames will induct their inaugural classes this fall.
In addition to the women's rugby program, Hall of Fames are being established in 2024-25 for Gee-Gees women's soccer and women's hockey.
Nominations are open to the public and can be made by completing and submitting a nomination form. The deadline for nominations to be considered for the 2024-25 induction class is May 15.
Following the 2024 inaugural inductions, inductions for the Gee-Gees Women's Rugby Hall of Fame will take place every five years.
The women's rugby team entered the QSSF, now RSEQ, in 1994-95 and in 1996 began a run of 18 straight years qualifying for the playoffs. After conference silver medals in 2004 and 2005, the Gee-Gees broke through in 2014 and now hold seven conference championships as well as the U SPORTS national championship win in 2017. Eleven alumni have appeared for senior national teams in both fifteens and sevens, and the team has celebrated 27 All-Canadians.
