2015 Hall of Fame Class

To be eligible for the BVBL Hall of Fame you must have played at least 5 seasons. This is our 2nd class of inductees.





Dave Douillette, Player/Captain
Worcester West (Player) 10-11, Wet Bandits (Player/Captain) 12-Present
Dave Douillette is one of the most decorated double threats in the league history. Seeing great success as a player (league MVP in 2014 and 2011) as well being named First Team All League in both those seasons. Also he was honored as the league's Captain of the Year in 2014 and 2013 (when he lead The Wet Bandits to a title). He played for the Championship Worcester West team in 2010 and was named Playoff MVP. He also captained The Bandits to a Championship game appearance in 2012. Elected to the BVBL Hall in his first year of eligibility...Dave Douillette.



Justin Aldrich, Player
BOHICA 2008-2011, Wet Bandits 2012-Present
Simply put Justin Aldrich is one of the league's premier winners. A member of the league since it's inception in 2008 he has played for two of the league's flagship franchises and earned three championship rings (2013, 2009, 2008), while also reaching the finals two other times (2012, 2011). An All League selection in 2008 and 2010 and a decorated 7 year veteran. Justin Aldrich.




Jeremy Bridge, Player/Captain
Flint Tropics (Player) 08, Banner Bar/Birdmen (Captain) 09-Present
Jeremy Bridge has been a fixture in the BVBL since the league's formation in 2008 when he played for the Flint Tropics. In 2009 he assumed control of the Banner Bar franchise that would become The Birdmen. In that time- he has consistently put a winning team on the floor and managed a series of strong personalities. He captained the Birdmen to the 2011 League Title. A 7 year veteran he is still effective as a player specializing in toughness and mid range shooting. 2015 Hall of Famer Jeremy Bridge.





Brian Collins, Player
Flint Tropics 08, Banner Bar/Birdmen 09-11, Amigos 12-Present
Arguably the league's all time games played leader. Brian Collins has been a BVBL fixture for 7 years. A tenacious defender and steady floor player has been recognized as a First Team All League Player (2008) and all Defense Member (2014). More than his tangible awards though, you would be hard pressed to find someone who plays harder- in fact the pole pads introduced in Season 2 were pretty much because of Brian. What's more he is always wiling to hop in for a team that is short on guys, and has actually been playoff eligible on teams he's not rostered on at times. A relentless competitor with infectious enthusiasm. 2015 Hall of Famer. Brian Collins.
