See what our athletes and their parents have to say about our coaches & programming!

  • "Connor's experience and understanding of the game has helped me grow as a player and get to the next level. Connor's mentorship has made a significant impact on my performance on the court - whether it's refining my shooting, honing my ball handling or breaking down film to enhance my basketball IQ. He's been more than just a coach; he's been my mentor through my basketball journey."

    • 2024 OUA All-Rookie Team
    • Former NCAA D1 (Pacific University)
  • "This season, I was beyond excited when Connor unexpectedly became available to join our coaching staff at Frontenac. Watching, learning, and asking questions became the norm for me once Connor arrived. I was blown away by the level of detail and precision with which he saw the game and even more so how he taught the game. Connor understands how to communicate at a highly advanced level with his athletes and creates a culture in which questions and reflection are encouraged. He will push them, he will make them uncomfortable, he will support them, and they will grow. Connor has big things in his future. I would highly recommend any young basketball enthusiast jump at the opportunity to experience a clinic or camp with him."

    Head Coach (Frontenac Secondary School)

  • I have worked with Connor for the past 2.5 years. While in high school, he taught me how to read the game at a higher level along with pushing me to further my individual abilities on the court! The time we spent together has been integral to me reaching the USports level and has not only made me a better basketball player, but also a better person.

  • "Connor coached my son's competitive basketball team for 4 years while he was at Carleton. The energy, enthusiasm, and attention to detail that he consistently brought to practice and workouts benefited both my son and his teammates over that time. Connor has the makings to become a high level coach with further mentorship and experience."

Their sessions have made my son a much more confident and capable player. I would highly recommend Connor to any player looking to take their game to a higher level"

  • "Connor is not only a great technical basketball instructor, but he also understands what is required to compete at the highest level. My son has benefitted greatly from working with Connor over the last few years. I couldn't recommend him more as a coach, and a teacher of the game."
