Greg Gould is a
Fredericton native and FHS graduate. As an athlete he
participated in Cross Country, Track & Field and Basketball, and continued on to UNB
where he earned his Bachelors in Physical Education, as well as a BA and MA in Education. While at UNB Greg combined his love for
sports and teaching and embarked on his coaching career which has
spanned over 4 decades. He started with the Teachers College Women’s Team and won the New Brunswick Collegiate Championship in 1972. He started his high school teaching career in Saint John at the Millidgeville North High School before moving to Moncton High School for 3 years. While at MHS he coached Cross Country, Track & Field as well as Basketball. His Track Team won the NBIAA Championship in 1977 and that same year he was named Head Coach for the NB Canada Games Track & Field Team that competed in Newfoundland. Greg’s boy’s MHS
Basketball Teams finished NBIAA AAA Runners up all three years. In his
third year at MHS Greg also coached the girl’s team during the same
season. The 1977 girl’s team, which included 2005 Honorary Chair Ann
Stone, won the NBIAA AAA Championship. A number of players from those
Moncton High teams became involved in coaching basketball in the
Moncton area. Players such as Terry Miller, Norval McConnell, Paul
Sullivan, Heather Wood and Ann Stone went on to distinguishing coaching
careers. Greg moved from MHS to Fredericton and coached the FHS girl’s basketball team that won back to back Provincial NBIAA AAA Championships in 1978 and 1979. The following year he switched back to coaching boys and co-coached the FHS boy’s team for the next nine years, making seven NBIAA AAA final appearances with six of those teams winning Championships. In 1988 Greg returned to coaching girls as Head Coach for Saint Thomas University where his team won two New Brunswick Collegiate Championships. Greg was instrumental in moving STU into the Atlantic Colleges Athletic Association. His 1994 STU team won the ACAA Championship and competed in the CCAA National Championships in Lethbridge, Alberta. Greg was named ACAA coach of the year that season. Greg took over the Riverview High School
girls program in 2002 and began to build it into one of the strongest
high school girls programs in Atlantic Canada. In his nine years at RHS
his teams won seven Northeast Conference titles, one NBIAA Runner up
and three consecutive NBIAA AAA Championships in 2009, 2010 and 2011,
winning 108 games while losing only three over these three seasons. Many of Greg’s Riverview players have gone on to play at the CIS or CCAA level with six currently playing for AUS teams. Several others, including Michelle Philips, Ali Forbes, Shannon Parlee and Amy Barter have gone on to coach. Greg says one of his early highlights at Riverview was when his 2004 team won the Moncton Ladies Basketball Classic. He was awarded the NBIAA coach of the year following that 2004 season. | GREG GOULD 2011 Honorary Tournament Chair  Selected Coaching Highlights NBIAA Championship Teams Moncton High (W), 1977 Fredericton High (W), 1978,79 Fredericton High (M), 1980's (six titles) Riverview High (W), 2009,10,11 Ladies Hoop Classic Riverview High - 2004, 2008, 2009 NB Collegiate/ ACAA Championships St Thomas University, 1980's (2), 1994 NB Teacher's College, 1972 Basketball New Brunswick Championships Mini Girls, 1995 Bantam Girls, 1996 Midget & Juvenile Boys Teams Professional Recognition NBIAA Coach of the Year, 2004 BNB Lifetime Coaching Award, 1995 ACAA Coach of the Year, 1994 |
