Shelley Andrews came out of Oak Bay High School to become one of the greatest Canadian women's field hockey players of all-time. She was a tower of power on the back line and controlled the game defensively during her years of playing internationally for Canada's national team. With Shelley playing over 100 times and anchoring the defense, Canada turned into a field hockey world power in the 1980s. Shelley was selected female athlete of the year for Oak Bay High in 1971, UBC female athlete of the year for 1975 and Greater Victoria Female athlete of the Year in 1987. But it was on the field hockey pitch that the native Victorian truly shone as she rose to become an Olympian, World Cup medallist and one of the top players on the planet. Shelley co-captained Canada to the silver medal at the 1983 World Cup, to the bronze medal at the 1986 World Cup and to fifth place at the 1984 Los Angeles Summer Olympics.

Reg Clarkson was one of the most versatile athletes ever to come out of a city rich in sporting tradition. He led UBC to Western Canadian Inter-Collegiate football and Pacific Northwest basketball titles during a dazzling stint on the Point Grey campus in the 1940s. The Class-AA Seattle Rainiers signed Reg, a rare three-sport professional athlete and he ended up a minor league all-star in the Brooklyn Dodgers chain before a bad elbow forced him out of pro ball. Reg also played pro basketball with the Vancouver Hornets and pro football with the Edmonton Eskimos. As well, he was a goaltender in Senior A lacrosse and a Coast League soccer player with Victoria United. In the twilight of a tremendous and eventful career, he won the handicap division of the Island Open golf championships and made the overall Island Open final in 1968.
