Humanitarian, Business Leader, and Award Winning Philanthropist, these are some of the words that often used when referring to Ian Hill.

Tonight at the Coaches Association of Ontario Conference, I heard the most incredible talks that I have ever heard. Ian was riveting. He caused me to reflect on my coaching career of thirty-eight years and what meaning I may have brought to the many young athletes that I have had the opportunity to coach. Thanks again Ian.
