PRINCE GEORGE—The UNBC Timberwolves are recognizing Tyrell Laing to The Wall of Honour for his efforts on the basketball court.
The Prince George product began his career in 2016. While a rocky season for the T-wolves with a record of 4-16. Laing managed to set UNBC rookie records for points, assists, three pointers, and steals in a Canada West season. In addition he was named Rookie of the Year and UNBC’s Male Rookie of the Year.
“I was pressing really hard to get Tyrell to commit to our program,” said UNBC coach Todd Jordan. “When we believe we have guys in the local area who can really contribute at the U SPORTS level, it is important to try to keep them here at home. Ty was a special player at PGSS, and I really liked his mindset.”
