Steve Stapleton

Ways to describe Steve-O: he who outruns wild gazelles, jumper of new heights, frisbee enthusiast extraordinaire. Now relocated to the great state of Texas, Steve Stapleton, in his first year of eligibility, has been accepted into the Ultimate Frisbee Hall of Fame.

Steve began playing frisbee shortly after the group's founding. Selected second-to-last in his first game, Steve overcame his humble emergence and quickly climbed the ladder of frisbee success. From outjumping all opponents to being the third member of the feared "Frisbee Triangle" to having a one-of-a-kind sense of humor, Steve has become a frisbee legend.


Defying all odds, Steve Stapleton has reached the pinnacle of the sport world's achievements: being immortalized as only the second player to be inducted into the Ultimate Frisbee Hall of Fame.

Eric McDonald

Eric McDonald. What can we say about this man? Lovingly referred to as "pops," Eric's tenacity and athletic ability was undeniable. Remember how he use to chase down those frisbees? Unbelievable.


Or remember how he never ran out of energy? When the rest of the group was ready to call it quits, Eric never tired, never left anything on the field.


Orchestrator of amazing plays on the frisbee field, "Juice It Up!" enthusiast, and most oft-injured player of his time - Eric moved from sunny California to her northern neighbor, Oregon, in the summer of 2007. Eric overcame prejudice, racism, arthritis, the Casebolts, and rabies to become one of the greatest frisbee players in the history of the game. Eric McDonald: athlete, leader, Hall of Famer. One can only wonder what sports he's dominating now.
