McGill possesses a rich history of organized sports dating back to the 1860s. The school, its students, and coaches figure prominently in the origins and development of hockey, basketball, and football, and continue to be major players in the national and international sports scene.
In 1996, with help from Meloche Monnex and the Martlet Foundation, McGill’s Sports Hall of Fame was established to recognize outstanding athletes, teams, and builders responsible for McGill’s continued excellence in sports.
