Josee Lacasse

Inducted November 16 2002

As a powerful and technically proficient prop, she played for the Province of Quebec, winning two National Championship titles. She was a regular for the National Women's team and earned 29 caps. Her world class abilities were recognized in 1998 when Josee was nominated to the All World Rugby Team. From 2002 to 2003 Josee coached the Ste-Anne's Women's Teams. 

Josee is a Financial Planner, and lives in Ste-Anne's, where her major interests are now with her little boys. Oh yes, .... and running with Val and Gill. A worthy member of the Hall of Fame.
 

STUART CREAGH

Inducted December 3rd 2005

Stuart Creagh enjoyed a long and illustrious career with Ste-Annes. First he enjoyed success as a player, where he went from rookie prop to a National Team player. He was a
winner, and defined more than a decade of play with this Club. And, it was not just any decade, but one with a streak and a record that will likely never be broken.  Some of his greatest matches were down at Saranac Lake where he
made the big bowl for the finals many times. This feat is not to be minimized as some of the best players in the world congregate at this
tournament. To win it so many times and be such a big part of these winning teams is a remarkable achievement.

But as great as were his performances on the field, perhaps his contributions as a Club Coach were even greater. He developed a string of women players that formed the core of a dynasty.  Then, as Men's coach he instilled a pride and ferocity in all Ste-Anne's teams that can still be felt to this day. Too many "greats" in one paragraph? Never. Not if you are describing Stuart Creagh, a true Hall of Famer.
