The Tigers Girls Hockey Team had a guest coach takeover practice. Delaney Collins (3 Gold & 2 Silver at World Championships, 3 WWHL Championships) put the players through their paces recently at Hillcrest. Now retired, Delaney has followed up a very successful playing career with an equally impressive coaching career including Canada’s U18 Female National Team and currently Team BC U18 team. The event was inspirational for everyone, including Delaney. She promised she’ll be back again for more fun on the ice with the Tigers.
Community Coach Tupper Girls Hockey Todd stopped by our recent PAC meeting to give us an update on the girls hockey program which is up and running with a full equipment library and IN THE NEWS!

"Wanted to give everyone a quick update on Tupper Basketball as we move into a new year at school and a new season of basketball. I am sure that you are all aware that our grade 8, 9 & 10 boys have only lost 1 game in Vancouver play in the last 6 seasons. Our grade 8’s finished 11th in the province, our grade 9’s 7th and our juniors 2nd. Our incoming grade 8’s are favored pre-season to win the city championship as are the other 3 boys teams. The senior team is ranked #8 in the province pre-seaon. We received our new scorers table and the “Hall of Fame” benches which combined with our new floor we are the crown jewel of facilitates for Vancouver High School Basketball. All of this new equipment was purchased with funds raised by the boys themselves and in addition the boys basketball teams pledged 20% of all funds raised to the “Best Buddies” program and presented the students there with a check for over $2000.00. It is our intention to do the same this coming school year with all funds raised by the teams. This past summer we ran free basketball camps for 5 weeks. The camps were run by Tupper Hall of Famers, Patrick Cumaual, Ivan Yaco, Warren Liang and Tupper teacher Jordan McAlpine. All of these outstanding coaches taught free of charge and donated all their time at the camp which the students were offered for free, both genders, all grades and any school in Vancouver. Some days 40 attended - some days 8 students but an amazing gift to the city none the less. Very, very pleased. There were not only Tupper students but schools represented were Killarney, Van Tech, Churchill, Lord Byng, Brit, David Thompson and Gladstone throughout the summer. Alumni continuing on playing in the next level see’s Cameron Smythe our All-Canadian going into his 5th and final year at Carleton hoping to win his 5th straight Canadian Championship. Hall of Famer Warren Liang is going into his 5th year at Dalhousie University and hoping to expand on his back to back Atlantic championships as well as the teams 3rd place finish at Nationals. Hall of Famer Daniel Kim is taking a year off from medical school as he accepted a ASAN ACADEMY Fellowship which is supported & sponsored in full by Hyundai. Daniel will spend 6 months in Seoul Korea studying Korea’s foreign policy and then he will be stationed somewhere in the U.S. for the remaining 6 months. Looking forward to the new year and so proud of all these young men." Jeff Gourley Head of Basketball Operations Sir Charles Tupper Tigers |
