When Tanya McKay became head coach of the Dalhousie Tigers women’s basketball team in the 2022-23 season, she connected with former Tigers MVP Kathy Spurr to begin a mentorship program. Spurr started the mentorship program and continues to oversee it, connecting student-athletes with mentors who are Dal women's basketball alumni.
The Dalhousie Tigers have seen many great basketball players come and go. Many still play professionally, using the skills and values they learned with the Tigers.
