The 2014-2015 campaign was a bumpy one for the TWolves, as many of the young recruits were pressed into action and had to learn the ways of Canadian university sport the hard way. Of all those first and second years, it was the freshman center back who stepped up most. It didn’t take long for Hall to establish himself as the type of defender that opposing strikers would be wary of attacking.

The Timberwolves, predictably, went through some growing pains due to a coaching change ahead of Hall’s second season. At the conclusion of the season, the Chilliwack product was named UNBC Best Defensive Player and Most Valuable Player.

In 2016-2017, the Timberwolves took major strides. They set program marks for goals scored, and wins, and continued to establish themselves as one of the toughest teams to compete within the conference.

Hall was named UNBC’s Best Defensive Player that season, and earned the distinction of becoming the first TWolves soccer player to be named a Canada West All-Star, garnering a second-team spot.

In Hall’s fourth season, it fell into place for the Timberwolves. The TWolves cut their goals against in half from the previous season, from 34 to 17, leading to program records for wins, points, and goals surrendered. Most importantly, Hall and the Timberwolves made UNBC history, qualifying for the Canada West playoffs for the first time.

Hall further bolstered his trophy case that year, winning Timberwolves Most Valuable Player, UNBC Male Athlete of the Year, and becoming the first TWolf to twice be named a Canada West All-Star.

In his senior season, Hall continued to dominate the TWolves’ third. The program reached a new milestone, going 6-4-5, earning the first winning season since joining the university ranks. The fifth-year defender was able to play his signature physical style, but was as disciplined and measured as he had ever been in his soccer career. He was named Timberwolves Best Defensive Player, MVP, UNBC Male Athlete of the Year. The coaches around the conference took notice, as well, naming him a First Team All-Star, making Hall the first Timberwolf to earn the distinction. He also became the first UNBC student-athlete to be named a conference all-star three times.

After his soccer career concluded, Hall graduated from UNBC with a degree in natural resources and environmental studies. He still calls Prince George home and can be found at Timberwolves training. Unsurprisingly, he is there to make those around him better, just as he improved Timberwolves Athletics over the course of a historic five-year career.
