Local High School All-Star signs with Wolves

In what could be described as Coach Nicol’s easiest decision in his twenty-eight year coaching career, the Wolves have signed local standout Josh Nicol. A product of the Wolves Club system and a graduate of the very successful Grande Prairie Composite High School program, the 5’9” pure point guard is a natural leader who makes everyone around him better. He possesses a solid fundamental skill set and a very high basketball IQ.  

Josh has captained the Wolves Summer Selects Hawaii team, the Zone 8 Alberta Summer Games squad, the Wolves Club teams, his high school team and led Team Alberta to gold at the 2010 Arctic Winter games.  The two-sport standout (football, basketball) capped off a stellar high school career  with the ‘Basketball Leadership Award’ and a share of the ‘Male Athlete of Year’ for 2010.

The young point guard “loves the pace of the game and the competition”. He lists his best basketball attributes as a player as “my court vision and coachability”. Choosing GPRC was a natural as he states “my dream has always been to play collegiate basketball for my dad”.

“Obviously I already know exactly what I am getting.  Josh is a young man of great character and I couldn’t be happier that my son will be in a Wolves jersey next season”   Coach Nicol

“Josh was a true leader for Team Alberta at the 2010 Arctic Winter Games. His ability to see the floor and control the tempo of play all under pressure set him apart from the other point guards at the games.”    Coach Bishop, AWG  “Josh is one of the most humble, selfless and coachable athletes I know. His heart and dedication to the game has turned him into not only an incredible athlete, but a talented leader on and off the court.”    Coach Sage, MJHS “Josh was a vital part of our success as a summer club team. He has great leadership on and off the court and his work ethic is second to none. Josh has developed into a potent scorer and floor general.” Coach Turner Wolves Club  “It was a pleasure coaching Josh.  Our team continually looked to him to set the tone and we will miss his work ethic, leadership, and character. Make no mistake,underneath his friendly, easy going nature and big smile isan intense competitor who will give everything he's got every moment of every practice and every game.”    Coach Sandboe, GPCHS
