Hall of Famer Colin McGuckin.
Colin G. McGuckin
Hall of Fame Inductee
Induction Date: August 2026
In early 2022, the Journeyman program was fortunate to welcome another remarkable family whose commitment, selflessness, and willingness to serve quickly became an example for others. Leading the way was the oldest sibling, Colin McGuckin, who immediately demonstrated what it truly means to be a Journeyman.
It didn't take long for Colin to embrace the values that define our program. More accurately, those values—hard work, humility, leadership, and service—were already a part of who he was.
While Colin's accomplishments on the basketball court are exceptional, what truly distinguished him was everything he did away from the spotlight. He could often be found volunteering at the stat table, recording games for his teammates, encouraging fellow participants, and doing whatever was needed to make the program successful.
What many people never saw were the countless responsibilities Colin willingly accepted behind the scenes. Whether assisting with facility management, transportation, logistical operations, or coaching younger divisions, Colin consistently stepped forward whenever help was needed. On numerous occasions, he arrived on short notice simply because the program was short-staffed—never asking for recognition or wondering what he would gain in return. If there was a job to do, Colin was ready to do it.
His individual achievements include:
• JJE-64 Division I All-Star Game Most Valuable Player
• JJE-65 Division I C.E. Coffey Award Winner
• JJE-65 Division I Tournament Scoring Leader
• JJE-65 Division I YAMO All-Star Game Most Valuable Player
• SJE-67 Senior Division Sixth Man Award Winner
• SJE-71 Senior Division Co-Most Valuable Player
• SJE-72 Senior Division Best Defensive Player
• SJE-73 Senior Division Championship Game Most Valuable Player
• SJE-75 Senior Division All-Defensive Team
• Recorded his first career triple-double milestone at SJE-73
• Compiled 75 career double-doubles
• Earned Player of the Game honors 21 times
Colin's place in Journeyman history extends well beyond these awards. He finishes his career ranked second all-time in rebounds, fourth in two-point field goals made, fifth in blocked shots, and second all-time in career double-doubles—trailing the all-time leader by fewer than ten while accomplishing the feat in 178 fewer games. Those numbers speak not only to his talent but also to his remarkable consistency throughout his career.
As one of the program's premier post players, Colin routinely faced the toughest and most physical opponents. He never backed away from a challenge. Instead, he embraced responsibility, competed with determination, and consistently put the success of his teammates ahead of his own individual recognition.
From everyone at Journeyman, we extend our deepest gratitude. Thank you for your dedication, dependability, friendships, and unwavering commitment to making this program stronger. Your work ethic, character, and humility have left a lasting impression on everyone who has had the privilege of knowing you.
The doors of Journeyman will always be open to you. We hope you will continue to visit often, knowing you will forever be welcomed as part of the Journeyman family.
Please join us in congratulating Colin G. McGuckin, a deserving Hall of Fame inductee and a true embodiment of what it means to be a Journeyman.
