Basketball star Gladish to be inducted into Wall of Honour

Gladish’s numbers speak for themselves. Over the course of a career that began in the early years of Timberwolves basketball, the diminutive shooter from the Fraser Valley positioned himself in the Timberwolves record books where he remains to this day. He concluded his time at UNBC as the program’s all-time leader in points with 1,178 and assists with 230. He also sat sixth in rebounds with 228, and if the statistics were kept, he would have surely set marks in three-point shooting.

Gladish graduated UNBC with a Bachelor of Commerce, and now lives in Burnaby with his wife Nicole and children Luca and Elena. Following Gladish’s senior year, the Timberwolves continued to ascend to new heights as a program. The influence of their long-time leader was still evident, on and off the court, according to Dennis Stark, who was a freshman when Gladish was in his final season.

“Jay was unassuming but carried himself with poise and quiet confidence. On the court, he was special; smooth, creative, athletic, and passionate. Most importantly, he never, ever backed down, and the Prince George fans loved him for it,” said Stark. “When our teams were practicing at a local high school and playing at the college, the team didn’t have many five-year vets. Jay was an example and inspiration of what veteran leaders could bring to a team. He was a leader and a builder for our program, and he deserves this so much.”
