Greg Maillet’s basketball journey began as the MVP of a high school basketball provincial championship team, Father Lacombe of Calgary, in 1983.
For much of the next decade, through multiple serious injuries, and several university degrees, he played university basketball in all regions of our country, representing St. F.X., Calgary, and the University of Ottawa, winning an OUA championship at the latter in 1993.
He started coaching as an Assistant at Ottawa U from 1994-96, then at Beijing University in China. After becoming an English Professor at the University of Regina, he gave basketball clinics for Athletes in Action and coached JV basketball at Leboldus High School in Regina.
After moving to Moncton to teach at Crandall University in 2005, he became Head Coach of Crandall Men’s Basketball, helping them to ACAA finals in 2009 and the semi-finals in 2013.
Felled by a serious stroke in 2013, Greg became Coordinator of Basketball at Crandall, contributing to the Men’s Program (which again reached ACAA finals in 2014 and 2017) off the court. During this time he also ran an off-season development program, the Crowns, which now has several graduates in post-secondary athletics.
Representing MKMBA and the Moncton area, Greg served as Head Coach as these local teams which won several Division 1 provincial championships: Mini (U-13), U-13 (2014), Bantam (2015), Midget (2017) and Juvenile (2019).
In 2019, Maillet was again an Assistant, for BMHS Boys Basketball, and helped BMHS to their first NBIAA basketball championship. This year Maillet is an Assistant Coach with the BMHS Girls Basketball program.
