SHERIDAN UNVEILS 2012 HALL OF FAME INDUCTION CLASS

OAKVILLE, Ont. - The Sheridan College Athletics and Recreation Department announced today their Hall of Fame class for 2012, with three individuals and two teams set to be inducted on September 29 during Sheridan's annual Homecoming Festivities.

"We couldn't be prouder to have this cross-section of individuals ready to join our Hall of Fame later this fall," said athletic director Jim Flack. "They collectively represent a key philosophy for our department and we are looking forward to celebrating their tremendous achievements."

2012 Inductees

Steve Blundy - Will be enshrined as a legacy inductee because of his sweeping contribution to the double-blue over four decades. Blundy was an athlete of the year as a hockey player (1968); he accumulated more wins (128) as head coach of the Sheridan men's hockey team than anyone else; and he served as facility manager at the Trafalgar Campus gymnasium for over 20 years.

Pat Blundy - Will be inducted as a builder, having coordinated the recreation and fitness programs in Oakville for over 20 years and serving as a varsity coordinator for both women's volleyball and women's hockey during her tenure.

Luciano DeLuca - Sheridan's all-time scoring leader in men's soccer, DeLuca scored 31 goals for the double-blue in three seasons from 1985-87. In his freshman season, his 10 goals led the club and helped them post a 9-1-2 OCAA West record. They were OCAA runners-up - losing to the eventual national champions from Seneca - and just missed out on a national medal by losing the bronze medal game in extra time to Capilano.

1976-77 Men's Hockey - After compiling a 15-3 OCAA conference record, the double-blue won the regular season conference title but were upset in the OCAA playoffs. However, as the host team, they still qualified for the national championship tournament. They beat Dawson 3-2 in the quarter-finals and squeezed out a 4-3 double-overtime victory over Cape Breton in the semi finals before falling in the national title game to Red Deer.

1990-91 Men's Soccer - After finishing the OCAA West regular season with a 6-2-2 record, the Bruins really picked up their play once the post-season began. They thrashed Durham 4-1 in the semi finals and then edged out Mohawk 1-0 in the title game. In the national championship tournament in Truro, Nova Scotia they won Group A after steam-rolling the Nova Scotia Agricultural College and drawing Mount Royal. They then beat Ahuntsic to advance to the championship where they fell to Capilano 5-3.
