Hall of Fame
Over the past three decades, Terry Wheatley-Magee has been one of Canada’s most influential contributors to field hockey. In many ways, this legacy began right here at the University of Toronto.
In her four seasons as a Varsity Blue, Terry led her team to win several high-profile awards, including a 1981 CIAU championship, two national silver medals and two OWIAA championships. Terry served as captain for two years and racked up countless accolades. She was named the 1984 U of T Female Athlete of the Year, was a Benson Award nominee, an OWIAA Athlete of the Month, and was twice named a CIAU first-team all-Canadian.
When she wasn’t representing U of T, Terry was competing internationally with the national field hockey team. She was a member of the 1984 Olympic team, which placed fifth and is Canada’s best-ever finish in women’s Olympic field hockey.
Following her incredible playing career, Terry found equal success as a coach, motivational speaker and athletic administrator. She spent 18 years as the high performance coordinator of Field Hockey Canada and coached the Carleton University field hockey team for 15 of those years. In 2000, Terry found herself at the top of the podium again when she brought home double honours as the Ontario Coach of the Year and the Canadian University Coach of the Year – a first in the history of Carleton Athletics. She is also a member of the Carleton Sports Hall of Fame.
Terry’s husband, former football receiver Mark Magee, was inducted into the Sports Hall of Fame in 2005, making them only the second wife-and-husband couple to be so honoured.
