Bishop Emeritus Joseph Maguire has been a fixture at countless Elms College athletics events for more than two decades and was voted in unanimously by the Athletics Hall of Fame selection committee.

Elms College's main athletics facility, the Maguire Center, was named after Bishop Emeritus Maguire upon its completion in 1994 as a testament to his support of the College's athletics programs and its student athletes.

Bishop Emeritus Maguire was a three-sport athlete at the former St. Columkille High School and excelled as both an ice hockey defenseman and baseball shortstop for Division I Boston College during the late 1930's-early 1940's.

Bishop Emeritus Maguire led Boston College's hockey team to a 34-13-1 record in three seasons and was inducted into the Boston College Athletics Hall of Fame in 1984.
