Former WolfPack player/assistant coach succumbs to cancer
KAMLOOPS — The Thompson Rivers University WolfPack regret to announce the passing of former player and current assistant coach with their men’s soccer team: Sebastian Gardner.
The native of Vernon joined the WolfPack as a player in 2007 after graduating from Clarence Fulton Secondary. He was a former PACWEST all-star in 2012. He was part of the TRU squad which won the BC College Athletic Association title in both 2007 and placed fourth in two straight Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association national championships: 2007 in Halifax, Nova Scotia and 2008 in Kamloops, BC). He was the co-winner of the 2012-13 Tyler Lowey Award, which goes to a TRU athlete who has come back from a serious injury or ailment.
That year, Gardner returned to the WolfPack line up and helped lead them to a PACWEST title and a silver medal at the CCAA championships in St. John, New Brunswick.
