Pierre Tibblin '91 – Men's Basketball
Pierre Tibblin had an outstanding five-year career with the Gaiters men's basketball team from 1986-91, helping spur the Gaiter basketball program into becoming one of the premier programs in the CIAU.
A highly-decorated player when he arrived at Bishop's in 1986, with a national gold medal and a CCAA All-Canadian honour to his credit, the 6'3" forward continued to earn plaudits during his time in Lennoxville. He was the team's rookie of the year in 1987 and a First Team QUAA All-Star. He shared team MVP honours with David King in 1987-88, when he helped lead the Gaiters back to the CIAU Final 8, as they went 23-8 overall. In that year, he averaged 22 points per game, including a 42-point performance that still stands as a school record.
In 1990-91, Tibblin was named the Bishop's Male Athlete of the Year, and a First Team OUAA Ottawa-St. Lawrence All-Star – his fourth league All-Star nod, after posting an average of 20.4 points per game. Tibblin finished his career as the Gaiters' all-time leading scorer, with 2,670 points in 126 games.
After graduating with an Economics degree in 1991, Tibblin pursued a career in sales and marketing, most recently with Texas Instruments.
