On Wednesday, June 10, 2026, the St. Charles College (SCC) Cardinal’s football program was celebrated at the 55th Annual Hall of Fame Awards Dinner, where they were officially presented with the prestigious Norm Mayer Dynasty Award.

Morris Hucal, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) & Chief Education Officer (CEdO) for the Sudbury Catholic District School Board, St. Charles College Principal Aaron Barry, and Vice Principal Lori Holden were all in attendance to celebrate this monumental achievement for the school’s athletic community.

“Receiving the Norm Mayer Dynasty Award is a tremendous honour that reflects over 75 years of grit, passion, and community spirit at St. Charles College,” said Morris Hucal, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) & Chief Education Officer (CEdO). “This award is about so much more than championships; it’s a celebration of a deeply rooted legacy that has shaped generations of student-athletes, coaches, and families. We are incredibly proud of the football program’s historic past, and we look forward to watching future generations of Cardinals carry this legendary tradition forward.”

As the city’s most successful high school football program, St. Charles College features a dedicated hallway showcasing over 75 years of gridiron achievements. The program’s incredible legacy was on full display at the event, which brought together former players and supporters spanning six decades of SDSSAA football to celebrate the enduring Cardinal spirit.

The team’s historic timeline includes capturing the Copper Cliff Jeweller’s Trophy as SDSSAA senior boys football playoff champions 21 times, alongside earning the Birks-Ellis-Ryrie Cup 15 times as junior playoff title holders. Furthermore, when the Cardinals captured the NOSSA senior boys football crown in 1969, they established a remarkable milestone, marking the final time a team representing the SDSSAA would capture the championship title for over half a century.

Over the decades, St. Charles College has built a strong tradition of moving athletes into the university ranks and professional leagues, including Canadian Football League (CFL) standouts Randy Fournier and Mike Derks. The school’s rich football culture is also exemplified by legendary figures like Mike Fabiilli. A former student who returned to dedicate over 30 years as a teacher and football coach, Fabiilli transitioned from a stellar high school career to play linebacker for the Ottawa Gee-Gees, where he earned CIAU Rookie of the Year honors in 1982.
