Reg Plummer is known as one of the best stick handlers to ever play for UBC Men's Field Hockey. Born in 1953, the Sudbury, Ontario native moved with his family to Melbourne, Australia when he was 14 and it was there, where he first discovered his love for field hockey. Plummer later returned to Canada and joined the UBC Thunderbirds Men's Field Hockey team as a mid-fielder and forward from 1973-1980. Plummer was renowned for his productive "play-making" abilities, which helped UBC win the Division 1 Championships in the Vancouver Field Hockey Association League in the 1977-78 and 1978-79 seasons. 
 
Plummer was also a key leader for the Canadian National Team for eleven years, appearing in 125 international matches, including at the 1976 Montreal Olympics, the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, three Pan American Games and the 1978 World Cup. The gold medal final against Argentina in the 1983 Pan American Games was the highlight of Plummer's career as he scored a goal and set up the other two in a 3-1 victory by Canada, the first gold medal ever won by a Canadian National Field Hockey team.
 
Since retiring, Plummer has been a significant off-field contributor to the development and improvement of field hockey in Canada as a coach and administrator for his Ottawa club team, and through his involvement with Field Hockey Canada. In 2019, he was inducted into the Field Hockey Canada Hall of Fame.
