Wesmen Athletics mourns today the passing of our former men’s basketball assistant coach, Jeff Kovalik-Plouffe.

Jeff joined our staff in 2022 and served loyally to the program and our student-athletes while waging a tremendous battle with significant health challenges, which he fought with every ounce of will and determination he could summon.

Jeff was an immensely valuable member of our coaching staff and we will remember him for his unending loyalty, infectious sense of humour and unconditional dedication to the Wesmen.

JKP, in so many ways you were 1 of 1, and we will hold you in our memories for years to come.

The Wesmen Family extends its sincerest condolences to Jeff’s family, friends and the many, many others who were impacted by his resounding presence in their lives.
