George Brown College announces that women’s soccer head coach Dave Kelly is stepping down after two solid seasons at the helm.
“I’ve enjoyed my time coaching at George Brown. Thank you firstly to all the players who represented and supported the program during my time and of course the coaching staff which could be one of the most qualified across Canada, he explained. “The support from all parts of the college from medical, communications, game day ops, administrative, and student support has been magnificent. It took me by surprise to how big of an entity it is, and I’m pleased that during my time here, we’ve been able to move the team on and off the field in the right direction, building on the previous foundations.”
Kelly made an immediate impact when he took over in the spring of 2023, quickly making the Huskies a tough team to face. Over two outdoor seasons, the team posted a 9-10-1 record and qualified for the playoffs both times. They also had a goal differential of +31 during those 20 matches. When it came to the indoor seasons, the program narrowly missed out on qualifying for the Provincial Championship on both occasions, being edged out by only a single point this past February at the Regional qualifiers.
“He brought in a high level of professionalism and structure to the women’s program, which has helped us align and focus towards a solid high performance strategy moving forward.”, said Manager of Athletics Melanie Gerin-Lajoie on Dave Kelly’s impact. “We still have a few strides to make, but our foundation is exceptionally solid now for whoever takes over the reigns next to be in a great position to hit the ground running. On behalf of the entire Athletics Department, I’d like to extend our thanks out to Dave for all of his contributions and commitment to the Huskies since 2023.”
The George Brown Huskies want to thank Dave for his fantastic work over the past two seasons. He made a lasting mark on this program.
