Honora Shaughnessy McGill Ambassador Award
With a winning percentage of .676, Tim Murdoch would be an asset to any sports team. As the head coach of the Redmen lacrosse team since 2003, he is a winner in every sense of the word, developing the team, its players and a tradition of excellence, which has resulted in seven consecutive Canadian University Field Lacrosse Association East pennants (2011-2017), three undefeated regular seasons (2013-2015), and two national championships.
There’s no secret behind Tim’s success – just dedication and hard work. A part-time coach in title only, he actively recruits premier players from across Canada and the U.S. looking for lacrosse talent. It’s clear from the Redmen lacrosse roster – which includes 16 Americans, seven players from BC and 10 from Ontario – that he excels as an ambassador for McGill.
But Tim doesn’t stop there. He ensures that his athletes make a long-term contribution – even after they leave the team. Thanks to his fundraising efforts, more than $140,000 has been raised by supporters (including Tim himself), which is reinvested into the lacrosse program.
As a McGill coach, ambassador, supporter and mentor, Tim has exerted an immeasurable and positive impact on hundreds of students and contributed his generous talent to the sustained success of a championship team.
