• Thank You Bev!

  Guestbook/ Explore150/ Mar 12, 2015

  This picture was taken on February 22, 2015 at the Acadia Athletic Complex in Wolfville, Nova Scotia. Coach Bev Greenlaw, an east cost Canadian basketball pioneer has coached all over the Maritimes and this image was taken at the last home game - it was also his last home game. After 7 years of coaching the Acadia University Axewomen varsity basketball team, bringing the program from the bottom up, Coach Greenlaw saw it as his time to retire in order to spend what ever time he has left with his wife and daughter. Coach Greenlaw, 65, has been a game changer in creating a youth basketball program known as the Jr. Axewomen Basketball program, in which the Acadia University team directly coaches and creates relationships with youth from kindergarten through to grade 12 high school. In this beautiful picture, Coach Greenlaw was recognized after this last CIS game with team posters that had "Thank you Bev!" printed on the back. Everyone in the bleachers and on the court rose and stood before this man holding signs to thank such a legend.
