One of the most impactful players to dawn a UNBC Timberwolves jersey is going pro.
Madison Landry, who played four seasons over five years with the women’s basketball program has signed a contract with AB Contern in Luxembourg.
“I am so excited to travel to Luxembourg and continue playing basketball. With last year being lost to COVID, I thought this past season with the Timberwolves was going to be the final season of my career,” said Landry.
“I never thought I would be able to play professionally, but I have developed so much in my time at UNBC that it has become a reality, and I couldn’t be more excited.”
Contern is a town of 4,500 people, ten kilometres from Luxembourg City.
AB Contern struggled to a 3-15 record last season.
The club’s home gym is called Um Ewen.
Landry arrived at UNBC in 2016 after graduating from Duchess Park Secondary.
In her four years of Canada West competition, she never missed the conference playoffs and rose from a key piece off the bench to a top-ten scorer in the entire country.
“I can’t tell you how many people helped me along the way to get to this point. I am so grateful and proud to be from Prince George.”
Landry’s name is all over the UNBC record books.
Her 1166 career points are good for third all-time in the Timberwolves Canada West and overall leaderboard.
Additionally, Landry is the highest scoring Prince George product, male or female, in UNBC history.
Landry’s younger sister Rebecca also plays for the Timberwolves.
