One of the most legendary basketball families in Canada will soon have a presence at UNBC.
Head coach Todd Jordan announced today (Thursday) 6’2” point guard Milan Pasquale (Mill Bay, B.C.) has committed to the UNBC Timberwolves.
Pasquale’s basketball roots run deep. His uncle was the late Eli Pasquale, a two-time Olympian (1984 and 1988) who served as a co-captain of Canada’s National Men’s Basketball team and spent 15 seasons playing for Canada internationally. In addition to the Olympics, Pasquale donned the Maple Leaf at two World Student Games, four FIBA World Championships and two Pan American Games.
Milan is carving his own path, further cementing his family’s legacy on the hardcourt. Last season he averaged 27.6 points-per-game for head coach Blake Gage’s Brentwood (H.S.) College School along with 8.3 rebounds, 7.7 assists and 2.7 steals. He is a two-time reigning Island AA Championship tournament MVP and a two-time Provincial AA first-team all-star.
“I love basketball because as a team sport I’ve been able to make so many friends and memories over the years,” reflected Pasquale. “The sport has really helped me channel my competitiveness into something positive.”
“My focus right now is getting more athletic and more fit so I can compete at the highest level. I’m looking forward to playing against older and stronger guys and getting to practice with the guys at UNBC and growing my game.”
