A leader on the Seneca men's rugby teams for three championship seasons between 2003 and 2005, Eric Hannah's presence on the pitch was prolific.
As a rookie, Eric persistently sped down the wing helping lead the Sting to an undefeated season (7-0) and a regular season title, capped off by an OCAA championship. He charged up his team with his incredible work ethic and dynamic performances. Eric placed third in OCAA scoring with 55 points.
In his second season, Eric scored 25 points and was a critical piece of Seneca's success as the Sting repeated in another undefeated season to win the league championship (6-0) and the OCAA gold medal.
In his third season, Eric scored 110 points in six games (14 tries and 20 conversions) and was named an OCAA League All-Star, OCAA Championship Man of the Match, while winning his third OCAA regular season title and OCAA championship, once again in undefeated fashion.
Eric returned to play for Seneca during the 2011 regular season and scored three tries in three matches. He currently shares third place in OCAA men's rugby career scoring with 205 points in 22 matches, coming from 33 tries and 20 conversions. All of this with zero penalties.
