Email: | john.williams3@georgebrown.ca |
John Williams was named head coach of the George Brown Huskies men's soccer team in the summer of 2015.
In the fall of 2021, the Huskies experienced the program’s best season. After going 2-4 in the regular season to qualify for the OCAA playoffs, the team went on a historic run for the program. The underdogs won three playoff road games against St. Lawrence, Fanshawe and Seneca to earn a spot in the OCAA Final. In addition, they experienced their best result at the OCAA Championship since 2007 after claiming the silver medal and a berth in the CCAA National Championship for the first time in program history. He also led the Huskies to an OCAA bronze medal in the fall of 2016.
In the fall of 2023, the Huskies ran the table with a perfect 10-0 record to win the East Division crown, scoring a league-high 62 goals while allowing the fewest against with four. This run led to the first time in his nine-year tenure with the program that he had been named OCAA Coach of the Year the first time his career and a nominee for CCAA Coach of the Year. The team took home a total of 15 OCAA awards that season. They went on to host the Provincial Championship and finished fourth in the process.
When it comes to the indoor soccer season, Williams and the program have been one of the most consistent medals threats in the OCAA. The Huskies claimed a medal in his first four seasons at the helm, including two gold medals in the three years (2017 and 2019). The team has also made the semifinals in every season since Williams started coaching for George Brown College.
