The King’s University is pleased to announce that Torey Hill will be taking over as their new Head Coach for Women’s Basketball, following the retirement of Brian Anstice who was the Head Coach for the past seven years.
“We are excited to have Torey Hill join our athletic staff at King’s, as she not only brings the experience of having played basketball at a high level as a student-athlete, but she has developed significantly as a coach during the past six years as an assistant coach with our program,” states Athletic Director, Grace Scott. Torey played five years of post-secondary basketball, both in the NCAA for Southern Utah University (SUU) and in the ACAC for Northern Alberta Institute College (NAIT). As a player for NAIT her team won an ACAC championship and a bronze at the CCAA National Championships. Torey is also a two-time All Canadian and a rebounding record holder. As an associate Head Coach for the 2023/2024 season she helped lead the team to a silver medal at the ACAC Championships, and earn the ACAC wild card spot at the CCAA National Championships where they finished tied for 5th. This was the first time a basketball team from King’s has attended a national championship, so it was a momentous occasion for the women’s basketball team, and their coaching staff. In addition to coaching in the ACAC, Torey has also coached and assisted with many club teams of all ages in the Edmonton area, and is very much looking forward to taking on this new challenge as the head coach for the women’s program. “Torey is not only very knowledgeable in her sport, but her experience, dedication, energy and passion that she brings to the game will only serve to continue to elevate our program and continued future success” (Grace Scott).
