SAN JOSE, Calif. – Former Santa Clara men's soccer goalkeeper Joe Cannon will be inducted into the San Jose Earthquakes Hall of Fame on Saturday. The ceremony will take place at halftime of Saturday's match against Seattle Sounders FC. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:15 p.m.

Cannon, who was recently hired as the new head coach of the Earthquakes' PDL affiliate Burlingame Dragons FC, was a Bronco from 1995 to 1997 and is one of the best goalkeepers in program history. After transferring to SCU from UC Santa Barbara, Cannon was a three-time All-West Coast Conference honoree and a two-time All-Far West Region selection. Cannon was also named an All-American as a senior. Cannon left SCU with a goals against average of 0.94, the eighth-best mark in program history. Cannon also recorded 15 shutouts, a mark that is good for No. 7 all-time at Santa Clara. 

A two-time MLS Goalkeeper of the Year, Cannon helped lead the Quakes to their first MLS Cup in 2001. The Sun Valley, Idaho native holds the Quakes record for most games played in goal with 171 appearances and is fourth in all-time games played for the club. Cannon also ranks first in saves (693), tied for first in saves in one season (137) and third in minutes played (15,561). During his time as a Quakes player, Cannon was twice selected to the MLS All-Star team (2001, 2002) and was also named the Earthquakes' Defensive Player of the Year and Humanitarian of the Year in 2000.

The San Jose Earthquakes Hall of Fame was created in 2005 and currently has nine members. Members of the Hall of Fame are selected by a Hall of Fame Committee that consists of former players, administrators and members of the media. To be eligible for the Earthquakes Hall of Fame, a person must have contributed significantly to the success of the club on or off the field.
