Hall of Fame
Bill Maguire (BA '89) was one of top players in the CIAU during his time with the York Yeomen hockey team (1985-89). A team captain in each of his four seasons, he helped the squad win three consecutive OUAA championships from 1986-88 and two national titles in back-to-back seasons in 1987-88 and 1988-89. He capped off his York career by being named a CIAU first-team all-Canadian and an OUAA first-team all-star in 1988-89 during his final season with the Yeomen, and he was also an OUAA second-team all-star twice. His hockey career also included a fifth-round selection (93rd overall) by the Hartford Whalers in the 1981 NHL Entry Draft, one year playing professionally in 1983-84 and a stint on the Canadian student national team in 1986. After graduation, Maguire held a variety of roles in the hockey world, including founding a hockey school in Barrie, Ont., serving as a head coach in several different leagues and spending six seasons as an assistant with the Yeomen under Graham Wise. He returned to York as head coach the men's hockey teams for two seasons from 2006-08, where he led the Lions to a second-place finish in the Mid-West Division in both seasons.
