Ali has been playing the game of basketball since the age of 11 where he first started off playing with his school teams and with St. John’s Minor Basketball. He has shown his interest and love for the game over the years, as he is very enthusiastic about basketball. He is a certified basketball official in Newfoundland and is currently playing for his high school varsity team at Gonzaga. Ali hopes to pass on his knowledge and experience to the youth of SJMB as a new coach of the program!
