In 2011, Roland (Junior)
Doyle was inducted as a member of the
Newfoundland and Labrador Soccer Hall of Fame. During the
induction ceremony it was
said:
« Versatility is one of the keys to being
successful. For almost forty years Junior was able to take on any role
or position on the soccer field. From being a goalkeeper, a striker or
a playmaker, he was up to the task to fill the need for his team.
Although most of his success was with St. Lawrence, he did help CBS
with two 2nd. Division Provincial Titles in the 1980′s. It
was, however, his years with his St. Lawrence Laurentians that his
overall play stood out. During this time he received individual
recognition with scoring titles and MVP awards. As well, he helped St.
Lawrence win Burin Peninsula, Provincial Challenge Cup and Atlantic
Soccer Championships. He was also part of the St. Lawrence team which
won silver medals at the Eastern Canadian and National Challenge Cup
Competitions as well as two gold medals at the Eastern Canadian
Masters Championships. Junior was a member of the Burin Peninsula
Soccer Hall of Fame and a member of the St. Lawrence team which was
named NLSA Team of the Decade for the
1970′s. »
