The UNBC Timberwolves Men’s Basketball team wrapped up its recruiting efforts for another year after heading to the prairies for its final commitment.
Regina product Matt Jickling is heading to the northern capital for the upcoming Canada West season after playing his high school basketball at Campbell Collegiate.
“I am super excited to be fortunate enough to play basketball at the next level. I love the game, and I am really excited to play at UNBC. It has been a goal of mine since I was a young kid, watching the men’s team play in my hometown. As I got older, I realized I needed to put hours in at the gym to improve my skill, and reach my goal.”
The 18-year-old is a product of Elite Basketball Training.
Timberwolves coach Todd Jordan identified his newest recruit as an athlete with plenty of potential.
“We are really happy to add Matt to our program. He is a longer guard who can really shoot the ball. We feel that he still has a lot of room to grow and develop and we are excited to work with him through that process. He is a high-level student and should be a great addition to our team and our culture.”
Jickling is expected to redshirt this season for the T-Wolves.
He will enroll in Nature-Based Tourism Management at UNBC.
