MacLachlan, Campbell '36 - Football

Like so many of the great Ridley athletes of his generation, Cam MacLachlan was a multi-colour all-arounder, He was captain of the football team, never left the ice as a staunch defender on First Hockey, and was a top run producer in cricket. Following Ridley, he starred in rugby and football at the University of Toronto before enlisting in his majesties navy to fight in WWII where he earned the moniker of Pirate of the Adriatic. His character reveled by his family who still claim his greatest sport memory may have been driving his teeth into the Iggulden gym floor having missed a full turn on the parallel bars, Cam lived his life building teams and leading just the way his sport experience had taught him.

“Dad would have said the greatest lesson from his years at Ridley was comradeship and team building.”
