Henry Callahan (1958–1982) was a player and ambassador of Ultimate frisbee and helped bring the sport to the University of Oregon, formally establishing a team in 1978. In 1982 he was tragically killed during a robbery while he was working in Boulder, Colorado. Both the Callahan Award, given each year to the best male and female college Ultimate players, and the Callahan Rules of Ultimate are named after him. In addition, the catching of a disc in one's endzone by a defensive player, resulting in a point, is now known as a Callahan.
