Amazing experience attending the New York Maple Leaf Ball, where York Football alumnus Greg Ebol was honoured. It was great connecting with York alumni now calling New York home.

Great experience guest coaching at the Winnipeg Blue Bombers Training Camp.

Enjoyed getting the opportunity to see our Lion Brody Clark and fellow / alum Nuer Gatkuoth in Bomber Blue.

IWhat a beautiful game.

2026 East / West Bowl. Grateful for the people I’ve had the opportunity to meet and work with through our beautiful game. Enjoyed the week working with a great group of runningbacks and coaches from around the country.

2025. It’s not about perfection, it’s about direction.
We learn. We grow. We move forward. Thank you men, for your effort, belief, and trust. We continue to build!

Proud of you men! Not for being pros, but for the men you’ve become along the way.

Keep pushing the culture forward!

Officially one year with the red & white. Continuing to progress day by day!
