Coach Gordon will enter his 10th season as head coach of the Lords men’s basketball program with high expectations and high hopes of continuing the program’s its annual contender status.

The Lords are used to being in contention, historically in the OCAA and recorded their most impressive run from 1993 to 1998 where the team registered 5 straight 20 win seasons, 3 Championship medals, and Ontario Championship and a National Championship title in 1997.

Coach Gordon, a local star in High school when he attended O’Neill Collegiate was a highly decorated player at the University of Prince Edward Island. Recognized as one of Canada’s best players in his CIS days, the star point guard was named a CIS All-Canadian three (3) times and more recently he had the prestigious honour of being the first person inducted into the UPEI University Sports Hall of Fame.

He has been very active in promoting amateur basketball and organizing tournaments on a yearly basis, including the longtime DC Senior Boys High School Classic (former Oshawa Times Classic). He has also continued to seek out professional development opportunities as a coach, by traveling to camps and clinics in the United States.

One of the OCAA’s promising young coaches, Coach Gordon is looking forward to a highly successful year in 2007-08 and would like nothing better than to raise a Championship banner to the rafters at Durham College, in the city he grew up in.
