Brian “Butch” Keegan had a lacrosse career that many would dream about. He had great success as a player and a coach.
Keegan was one of the top scorers in both Junior and Senior Lacrosse, played on a Mann Cup team, a Professional League Nations Cup team and also coached four Presidents Cup champions.
As a player he was awarded the Most Gentlemanly Player Award at both the Junior and Senior levels. Butch played for Canada in the first World Field Lacrosse Championship in 1967.
He was one of the fortunate players to experience life as a pro in 1966 and then later in 1974 and 1975. His coaching prowess was recognized in 1989 when he was selected as OLA Senior Coach of the Year.
All these accolades brought him induction into the inaugural class of the Ontario Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 1997, and then entry into the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 2000. Butch would put back into the game as a member of both the OLHof and CLHoF Eastern Seletion Committee for many years.
