Dr. Chris Rumball is originally from Ancaster, Ont., and currently resides in Victoria, B.C. He graduated with a bachelor of science in 1971, followed by a medical degree in 1975. He dressed for every game over his five seasons and was a four-time conference all-star, twice at defensive back and twice at running back. No slouch on special teams either, he scored six regular season touchdowns on kick returns, four of them during the 1969 season, including a 93-yard romp on a punt return in the Yates Cup game, a 17-0 shutout over Toronto before 12,000 at Molson Stadium.

Rumball received all-Canadian honours as a DB in 1969, leading McGill to the Yates Cup league title and a berth in the Vanier Cup national championship game. A co-captain and two-time team MVP, he won the Forbes trophy in 1972-73 as McGill male athlete of the year.
