She has played her last game for the UNBC Northern Timberwolves. But, Christine Kennedy may not be done with the green and gold quite yet.
Kennedy, the lifeblood of the local women's basketball team for the past two seasons, would like to make more contributions to the program in the future.
These ones would be from the sidelines.
"I'm hoping that my time at UNBC isn't over," said Kennedy, a scrappy and skilled point guard who was in her fifth and final year of playing eligibility this season. "I hope one day I can come back with some coaching experience under my belt and help out.
"I want to get the Basketball B.C. first level [coaching certification] and [UNBC head coach] Loralyn [Murdoch] has been through everything and said she'll tell me what I need to do," added Kennedy, who is working on a masters degree in psychology at UNBC. "I really do enjoy my psychology work and right now I might lead into sports psychology, which would really help with a coaching career as well. So I don't know what the future really holds but I can't imagine not learning about basketball and that's why I really need to get into coaching to learn the other side of it."
