Hall of Fame
Ralph 'Pops' Lee
Ralph "Pops" Lee emigrated to Canada from Wales in 1973. He left the Mumbles Rugby Club, bound for the Brampton RFC. In his professional career, Ralph was for 25 years an employee of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. He, together with other senior Brampton members - Murphy, Boydell, Page, Blair to name a few – were instrumental in building the Brampton Rugby Clubhouse.
In his role as President, and then as Treasurer, Ralph kept the club alive through every means available to him. Like other Club stalwarts, Ralph personally contributed financially to the survival of the Club. He would do anything to help keep our creditors at bay, including cooking for 100 at the annual banquet. As a player, he was as competitive as any person who has ever worn the Maroon jersey, and his desire to win did not end when he hung up his boots.
In 2005, Ralph "Pops" Lee passed on, and he is inducted to the Hall of Fame posthumously.

Sandy Mackenzie
Sandy Mackenzie was inducted as a player, an outstanding Full back for the Club.
Peter Murphy vividly describes how Sandy, a man of slight frame, has been the only man to command the undivided attention of his wife at a Rugby match, because of his heroic tackling from his full-back position.
Brian Dickson
Brian Dickson is inducted as a player. For Brampton he was a formidable Number 8 and seemingly without fear, who would in Peter Murphy's words "rampage through the serried ranks of the opposition." Among his achievements was an appearance for the Ontario Provincial side against the Welsh National Touring team.
