COACH’S MESSAGE
Since the appointment of Executive Director, Athletics & Recreation, Leslie Dal Cin, our program has been supported like no other, helping us move toward our mission of becoming the best basketball program in Canada. The addition of full-time assistant coach, James Bambury (former CIS head coach at RMC), helped propel us to be ranked in the Top 10 in Canada (with a 7th place showing in the National Championships) in 2014, and beginning the 2015-16 season in the 8th spot. Our team was recognized last season with 3 OUA East All-Stars, 1 OUA East AllRookie team member, and 1 National Award winner….all this with the youngest team at the 2014 Nationals. As full-time coaches, we are dedicated to the development of our players -- academically, athletically, and socially. Our team plays a large role in each other’s successes as well, not just on the basketball court, but also in the classroom. Our combined efforts have produced the 100% graduation rate over my entire coaching career.

Playing varsity basketball at Queen’s is an experience that cannot be matched by any other.”
