Catching up with Chris Oliver

Former University of Windsor men's basketball head coach Chris Oliver is reaching players all over the world since leaving Windsor, a city he called home for more than a decade.

Oliver won over 300 games as an OUA coach and rubbed shoulders with some of the best minds in the game. The Lancers were ranked in the CIS top 10 in ten of his 14 years on the bench and Oliver brought excitement to campus in the form of exhibition games against NCAA teams like the University of Kentucky and the University of Ohio.

In this edition of Meet Our Community we hear what Oliver has been up to since moving away from the City of Windsor.

"Another great resource for local sports produced by a person that has been invested in local sports for decades."

This is why...

Powerplay Sports was born while on a trip to Italy in the summer of 2018. Walking through a charming pedestrian underpass reminded me of being in the tunnel at the University of Michigan in the early part of my career. That feeling led to thoughts of Windsor Lancers football camp opening in three weeks and all of the fall sports that weren't going to be covered because of cuts to local sports coverage by legacy media. 

With the support of a loving wife and family, I decided to create Powerplay Sports as a passion project.  

​​​

I've come across some great people who have helped capture the essence of our community throughout the years like Tony Techko, Tony Doucette, Scott Scantlebury, Dom Papa, Steve Bell, Will Hill, Jim Parker and Mary Caton to name a few. 

Please spread the word and follow along here or on social media so we can continue having the priviledge of highlighting our athletes, our community.
