Honoring the Legacy of Montgomery Bucks Rugby
The Montgomery Bucks Rugby Hall of Fame exists to recognize the individuals who helped build, shape, and sustain the legacy of our club. Since 1988, Montgomery Bucks Rugby has been defined not only by victories on the field, but by the character, leadership, and commitment of the people who represent it.
Our Hall of Fame celebrates those whose contributions have left a lasting impact on the program, the players who came after them, and the broader rugby community.
Inductees represent the very best of Montgomery Bucks Rugby—players, coaches, leaders, and supporters whose dedication helped establish the culture and standards that continue to guide the club today.
The Hall of Fame is more than recognition. It is a way of preserving the stories and traditions that make Montgomery Bucks Rugby what it is.
