"Coaching has been a positive aspect in my life that has put me in touch with great people and helped me grow as an individual”, explains MacGillivary. “I take pride in the relationships I have made along the way with fellow coaches and past players. Langara is getting someone who wants the best for the players and program – a coach who will try to build up the program and create a positive culture that sustains success on and off the court.”
Prior to joining the Falcons, MacGillivary was the lead assistant coach at Capilano University.
