COACHING STAFF UPDATE

The Calgary Surge have been notified that Coach Tyrell Vernon intends to remain in Nova Scotia through 2025, citing a desire to be home with family and create a youth basketball league in Atlantic Canada. 

During his tenure as head coach throughout the Surge’s second season, Coach Vernon led the team to an 11-9 record and a 2024 CEBL Championship Weekend appearance (the club's second straight qualification).

"Tyrell came into training camp on short notice and navigated his first season coaching at the professional level with great care and class. We are proud of what we achieved together for our fans and the Calgary community," says Surge Senior Vice President Dylan Howe.

The organization wishes Coach Vernon and his family well as they continue to lay roots in Antigonish where Vernon remains Head Coach of the St. Francis Xavier X-Men basketball program.

The Calgary Surge have already begun recruitment for a new head coach.
