Traxel to return to WolfPack men's hoops next fall

May 28, 2007

KAMLOOPS – 2005 Scholar-Athlete award-winner Brent Traxel will return to the WolfPack to play his fifth and final year with the WolfPack men’s basketball team this fall.

The 6’6″ forward from Cochrane, Alberta, was a team member of the Canadian College league national gold medal-winning UCC Sun Demons.

“I am extremely pleased that Brent has decided to complete his eligibility this season,” said men’s basketball head coach Nevin Gleddie. “One thing about Brent is that when he is on the floor he always makes something happen.  He is one of the most passionate players I have ever coached. Brent will bring tremendous leadership on and off the court and most importantly he brings that leadership and intensity every day to practice.  There are few players as good as Traxel on the fast break. He can wear defences out all by himself.”
