In his rookie year, Peter Urban began what would be a long and successful fencing career as he defeated a veteran McGill fencer to win the Schwende-Tully trophy as the league men’s sabre champion.

In 1964, Peter was awarded the George Tully Trophy, given annually to the Ontario university fencer most proficient in skill, style and sportsmanship.

He went on to become a national, international and Olympic team member, and at the 1976 Olympics in Montreal, Peter helped Canada’s men’s sabre team to a ninth-place finish.

Peter is still actively involved in fencing and is currently ranked seventh in the World Veterans category.
