Of the eight defensemen who are currently eligible for the CCAA Hall of Fame, four won a pair of CCAA titles and received two CCAA individual awards while one picked up four CCAA individual awards.
From the fall of 1977 through the spring of 1980, Bill Wilkins won conference titles in 1978 and 1980 and posted three podium finishes at nationals including championships in 1979 and 1980 with the Red Deer College Kings. He was named ACAC First Team All Conference in 1979 and 1980. He was selected the CCAA Tournament Most Valuable Player in 1979 and a CCAA Tournament All Star in 1980.
From the fall of 1982 through the spring of 1984, Serge Roy laced up the skates for Cégep de Saint-Hyacinthe. He won a conference title in 1983 and national championships in 1983 and 1984 with Les Lauréats. The future Olympian received CCAA Tournament Most Valuable Player and CCAA Tournament All Star honours in 1983 and 1984 respectively.
From the fall of 1982 through the spring of 1984 with Canadore College and from the fall of 1986 through the spring of 1988 with Humber College, Gerard Peltier was recognized by the CCAA in each of his four seasons. He was named OCAA First Team All Conference and CCAA All Canadian in 1984, 1987 and 1988. The former Memorial Cup champion received CCAA Tournament All Star honours in 1983 with the Panthers and advanced to the final at the 1987 and 1988 CCAA National Championships with the OCAA champion Hawks.
From the fall of 1987 through the spring of 1990, Blaine Peerless captained NAIT to a conference title in 1990 and national championships in 1989 and 1990. He was selected ACAC First Team All Conference in every season that he wore an Ooks sweater and CCAA All Canadian in seasons that he led the Ooks to the top of the podium.
From the fall of 1996 through the spring of 2000, Dion Hagan donned the jersey of the Mount Royal College Cougars winning conference and national championships in 1998 and 1999. At the provincial level, he was selected ACAC First Team All Conference in 1998. At the national level, he was chosen CCAA Tournament Most Valuable Player in 1998 and CCAA All Canadian in 1999.
A hall of fame call for any of the five is primarily dependent on weighing individual awards versus team accomplishments. Peltier received four individual awards and twice played in the championship final, but did not reach the top of the podium like the four who were two time national champions. The fact that Peltier donned a jersey for two teams places him at a distinct disadvantage even though he should be the first hockey player (including goaltenders and forwards) from Ontario to get a hall call.
