2012 Inductees
Rev. Dr. Roger Guindon, OMI (1965-1984)
Father Guindon was a staunch supporter of the Gee-Gees football program. He did so with conviction and partook with pride in the team’s achievements. Father Guindon was a firm believer that a University without athletics was an incomplete institution, and that football was the flagship program of the University of Ottawa. His enthusiasm and support fostered unity amongst students, staff and alumni and later garnered him the title of “President” of the football program. During his 15 year tenure as uOttawa Rector, the Gee-Gees football program amassed the enviable record of 14 Conference Championships, two Atlantic Bowl Championships and one National Championship.
Ted Evanetz (1967-1970)
Ted was the “go to guy” for the Gee-Gees football team. Although primarily used as a running back, Ted’s versatility allowed him to do it all. Adding to his backfield duties, he was an effective punt and kick return specialist who led his teams in total yards during his tenure with the Gee-Gees. His game highlights comprise several 100 yard rushing games including an amazing 235 yard outing and another incredible four touchdown performance. He earned himself a OQIFC All-star recognition in his first year and All-Conference selections in 1967 and 1968 as well as an All-Canadian honourable mention in 1967.
Peter Hazzan (1974-1978)
Peter had an incredible career with the Gee-Gees and was the team captain in his last three seasons. In addition to being a member of the triumphant 1975 Vanier Cup team, Peter culminated his outstanding career with three consecutive All-Conference selections in 1976 to 1978 and a prestigious All-Canadian award in 1978. Peter was also the recipient of the Ken Ferren Leadership Award in 1976 and 1977; he was named the Gee-Gees Top Offensive Lineman in 1977 and 1978 as well as earning Team MVP honors in the following year.
Jeff Beraznik (1992-1996)
Jeff had a stellar career as a four year starter at wide receiver with the Gee-Gees and was the team captain for his last three seasons. Some of his football accolades include being a four-time Academic All-Canadian, an All-Conference Receiver in 1994, an OQIFC winner of a Russ Jackson Award nomination, a two-time recipient of the uOttawa Rector’s Award and a two-time winner of the Bill Cherniuk Award. In 1997, inspired by his own finger injury; Jeff founded Cutters Gloves. His ingenuity and innovation propelled Cutter Gloves to the market leader in high-performance sports gloves currently used in the NFL, MLB and CFL.
