2019 Vincent Massey Viking Hall of Fame class
Brady Dane
Brady Dane joined the Vincent Massey football program as a young grade 9 student in the fall of 2005. It was immediately apparent that Brady had a deep love and passion for the game of football, however nobody could predict the overwhelmingly positive impact Brady would have on football in Brandon. Brady, under the tutelage of Coach Pink, became a dominate force on the Viking offensive line for four years. During that time Brady demonstrated that he was a true student of the game, using his brains as much as his brawn to find success on the field. It would be hard to argue that there has been a more passionate or loyal player to wear Viking purple. Brady always wore his heart on his sleeve and his passion and commitment inspired his teammates. During his four years as a Viking Brady captured a JV Championship as well as the inaugural 12 man RMFL championship. In 2007 Brady was the Viking co-MVP and he was an integral part of the very important 2008 team that saw the Vikings transition from 9-man to 12 –man football that eventually lead to the team to joining the Winnipeg High School football league. After his Viking Career Brady had a very successful campaign with the Westman Wolverines Major Junior program.

Keegan Treloar
Keegan goes into the HOF as the first specialty player. Keegan was the Viking kicker from 2007-2010. Keegan was completely committed to the art of kicking and he spent countless hours practicing his craft. Often Keegan could be found at Vincent Massey during his spare time kicking field goals and punting. His hard worked payed off as he became the most prolific kicker in Viking history. Keegan’s leg was an effective tool that pinned offensives deep in the opposing territory where a hungry Viking defense waited. Keegan also gave confidence to the Viking coaching staff, who were always wary of kicking field goals, when Keegan lined up for a field goal it was a certainty that the team would come away with points. Keegan also attended numerous camps and connected personally with kickers that could mentor him along the way. Keegan captured a WHSFL record by kicking six field goals in one game against the Tec Voc Hornets. Keegan was also named the Team MVP in 2010. Keegan is an excellent example of what happens when you commit to a goal and practice diligently towards it, his hard work and commitment to excellence are something our young Vikings can look towards for inspiration.
