PRINCE GEORGE — Former soccer goalie Jordan Hall has been inducted into the UNBC Timberwolves Wall of Honour.

A graduate of College Heights Secondary School, she committed to the Timberwolves in 2011 and in her first season, earned a Best Defensive Player award.

In 2012-2013, the Timberwolves competed in their first campaign in the CIS with Hall starting in all 11 games. That season she made a Canada West-record 126 saves. She broke that record the next season making 128 saves.

“Jordan’s value to us was immense. She really had the hardest job in Canada West. Having a keeper behind you who you know is capable making the big saves every time they are called upon – even when that number is sky high – is so important,” said UNBC defender Fiona Raymond. “Without Jordan’s ability on the backline, we would not have had any of the successes we had, or the program would end up having.”

In her final season, Hall continued her outstanding play. A highlight was a game they were outshot 32-0 in a 1-0 loss at UNBC. The final home match of her career was against the #1 ranked Calgary Dinos, where Hall made 12 saves in a 0-0 draw.

The following year, the Timberwolves would build on the momentum and legacy left by Hall and her teammates, and start a five-year run of consecutive Canada West playoff berths. According to TWolves coach Neil Sedgwick, you can draw a direct line from Hall to the growth and development of UNBC Soccer.

“Although I never got to coach Jordan, when I first took the position I would watch the team’s game film from previous years. Her contributions were obvious and massive. She ability to stop the ball. He knack for starting attacks. It was players like Jordan, and so many more, that laid the foundation for the program. Through ups and downs, we can call on the roots of the program to keep nurturing our growth. There have been very special people to have come through this program, and Jordan is one of the greats.”
