St. Ignatius High School

Returning Players & New Prospects

St. Ignatius returns four players from last years’ NWOSSA championship team. Our big men in the middle 6’6” Ben Belisle and 6’5” Travis Branch. Rounding out the veteran core are crafty wingers 6’2” Gunnar White and 6’1” Casper Petrick. The well-rounded Falcon team has an exciting freshmen crop of players to compliment the returnees.

Teams Play Style

This year’s St. Ignatius Falcons have a large bench with depth at all positions. Players are accustomed to sharing their minutes on the floor and playing at a quick pace. Our league utilizes a 30 second shot clock, but the team prefers playing under Manitoba’s 24 second clock rule.

Goals for the Season and Last Years Achievements

St. Ignatius are the eight time defending Superior Secondary Schools Athletic Association (SSSAA)) champs. Despite the loss of several key players from last year’s team, the team managed to win their local Tip Off tournament championship earlier this season. Winning an ninth consecutive season championship will be a challenge for this young squad. There are many talented high school teams in Thunder Bay and area that are looking to knock the Falcons off their perch.
