The Buccaneers were proud to induct Jose Duarte as their newest Hall of Fame member. Jose was an active member of the club from 1995 to 2009. As a player Jose was a fierce tackler and a hard runner. Jose was also versatile, playing both front row and second row, as well as inside centre when called upon. On top of being a player, Jose served the club above and beyond the call of duty. During Jose’s tenure he was club referee, club webmaster, and coached the senior men’s team. Jose also served as an executive member as club secretary from 2001 to 2005, and was club president from 2006 to 2009. Jose’s contribution to the team, and commitment to the club is beyond measure and make him especially worthy as a member of the Buccaneers Hall of Fame.

The Buccaneers RFC would like to thank Whistler’s who were fantastic hosts, as well as all the sponsors and volunteers which made it a great night. The Bucs would like to especially thank Gus Prokos – Realtor, and club sponsor, who presented the club with a $1,000.00 sponsorship donation to the club.
