Following the 2024-25 inaugural inductions, inductions for all three Hall of Fames will take place every five years.
The women's soccer program first competed in OUA conference play in 1994-95 and has been one of the nation's most successful programs throughout its thirty-year history. Two national championships, eleven total national championship medals, eleven OUA conference championships, nine undefeated regular seasons, 22 total OUA conference medals, 132 OUA All-Stars, 37 All-Canadians, and senior national team caps for alumni have highlighted the incredible sustained excellence by the Garnet and Grey.
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.
The women's hockey team entered the QSSF, now RSEQ, in 1999-2000 and will celebrate its 25th anniversary season in 2024-25. The team's historic accomplishments include four national championship tournament appearances, a national silver medal, one conference championship, 49 conference all-star members, four All-Canadians and three national award winners.
