The Douglas College Royals have a new leader at the helm of the women’s basketball team.
Steve Beauchamp, a 20-year coaching veteran, took over the position on April 21, bringing with him 11 years worth of experience as the bench boss for Holy Cross secondary, where he led the team to multiple provincial championships.
“I am so impressed by the Athletics department at Douglas and how they place a focus on connecting with the outside community,” Beauchamp said. “I am also impressed by all the support that is given to the Athletics programs. Whether it is other athletes, students or faculty, they are in the stands cheering.”
This will be Beauchamp’s second tenure at Douglas College. Between 1985 and 1995, he led the men’s basketball team to five provincial championships. In 1994, he coached his team to a second-place finish at the national championship tournament.
