Men's Basketball

King’s University College is pleased to announce that Chad Pidhaichuk has signed on as Associate Head Coach for the Men’s Basketball Team for the 2011-2012 season.

Chad played two years at the College of New Caledonia (now the University of Northern British Columbia) from 1997-1999, as the starting small forward and a team captain for the 1998-1999 season. Chad was a leader by example and set the tone for his teammates in practice and on the floor. Chad was a dominant defender and rebounder, skills he works hard to instill in his players as a coach.     

Chad graduated from the University of Alberta in 2003 with a bachelor of education and has taught in Drumheller, Prince George and currently in Stony Plain. Chad has coached high school basketball for 11 years in Drumheller, AB and Prince George, BC where he enjoyed great success. While in Drumheller, Chad co-founded Badlands Basketball, a group that put on camps, organized and coached club teams, delivered coaching clinics and hosted spring and summer leagues in Alberta and British Columbia.      

“I am so pleased with the addition of Chad Pidhaichuk as Associate Head Coach. Chad and I have worked together for 7 years and there is a high level of trust that goes along with that. Chad brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the coaching staff and I am quite confident that with Chad aboard we will see great improvement in our team this coming season,” Coach McLean says of the new addition to the team.
