We like to welcome Tiffany Au from Thornhill, Ontario to the Northern Lights! Tiffany will be part of our player development/training team while helping alongside coach Michael Chao on the sidelines.

Tiffany is a multi time medalist at the APA Circuit playing in her first ever tournament back at the inagural GTA Open 2024. Tiffany is a hardworking player and has dreams of turning pro. After being undrafted in this year’s 2025 CNPL Draft, Au is determine to get back into the lab and improve her game to get ready for next year. Tiffany is currently a student at York University and works as a tournament ambassador for the APA Ontario Circuit. She recently accepted a job as an operating manager for the Pickleplex franchise.

Michael Chao: “I’ve known Tiffany for over a year now, and she’s one of the hardest working people I’ve ever met on and off the court. She has so much potential in her game, though she didn’t get drafted this year, she’s going to work even harder to get back at it next year. It was no brainer for me to sign Tiffany Au on our team as she will help get our players ready for this upcoming season and bring the energy from the sidelines.

Welcome to the family Tiffany! Light it up!

With the 34th pick in the 2025 CNPL Draft, the Northern Lights select Graham Hilyer from Port Perry, Ontario.

Graham is a multi time medalist at the APA and a current sponsored player on the circuit. Hilyer is considered one of the OG’s in the Ontario pickleball scene picking up the sport back in 2017. After not making it his first 2 years in the CNPL, he was determined to keep improving his game and prove to doubters that he belongs in this league. Graham works full time at Canada Life Reinsurance as an Actuarial Associate.

Michael Chao: “Looking back at the first 2 years of the draft, I still find it pretty crazy that he wasn’t selected by any of the teams. He is one of the top players in Ontario with proving results to back it up year after year. With my last pick of the draft and seeing him still available on the board, this was an easy decision. He is an ultimate team player and ready to take on any role that can help the team win.”
