Waterloo Warriors Hall of Fame
From his front-row seat in the Physical Activities Complex (PAC), Martin Timmerman (BMath '78) witnessed one of the most storied moments in the history of Warriors basketball when the black and gold won the 1974-75 national championship on a buzzer beater shot. That experience inspired Timmerman to start a decade-long project that has made an impact on Waterloo student-athletes and university basketball teams across the country, a project he still maintains to this day.
Timmerman collects and posts U SPORTS basketball statistics on his website (usportshoops.ca) for all teams from coast-to-coast. It's an incredibly valuable resource that coaches, students, alumni, staff, and parents use on a daily basis, and it just shows how passionate and dedicated Timmerman is to university hoops.
Timmerman began his statistical collection at the University of Waterloo, maintaining records and stats of Warrior basketball student-athletes since the inception of both the university. Whatever stat you needed, regular season or playoff, you name it and Timmerman would have it on his website. His passion then trickled over to usportshoops.ca. Timmerman retired in March of 2014 following a 33-year career in the IST department at the University of Waterloo, but no retirement is in sight for the invaluable content he provides through his U SPORTS Hoops statistical website.
