Wall of Distinction
Ian joined the Bishop's Gaiters coaching staff in 1984 under the leadership of legendary Bruce Coulter. Breck was named head coach in 1988. His leadership enabled the Bishop's Gaiters to be recognized country-wide as a powerhouse football program.
In 11 years at the helm, Breck posted a 51-25-2 regular season record and made the playoffs 10 times. He led the Gaiters to five regular season championships and won Dunsmore Cup titles in 1988, 1990 and 1994. Each of those years Bishop's appeared in a national bowl game. Breck was a relentless and thorough recruiter and a highly organized position coach.
Breck coached 25 All-Canadians and three CIAU major award winners. In 1992, Ian was named the CIAU Coach of the Year and took home the Frank Tindall Trophy.
After Bishop's, Ian went on to teach at Alexander Galt Regional High School and helped rejuvenate their football program. In 2000, Ian became the Head Coach of Team Canada and brought a team of U-20 all-stars to the Global Junior Football Championship held annually at the site of the Super Bowl-winning the World Championship in 2000.
Ian returned to Bishop's in 2011 to help as a volunteer assistant coach.
He currently resides in Saint-Lazare with wife Kathy.
