On this episode of Interviews with Anthony Beyrouti, we had the pleasure of chatting with former CIS player, current coach, and former VK Basketball parent, Danie Gardner.  

Danie played her high school basketball career at DW Poppy Secondary in Langley, BC. From there, she went on to play three years in the CCAA at University College of the Fraser Valley under Head Coaches Bruce Langford and Mike Hind.  

After recovering from a season-ending knee injury in her final season at UFV, Danie was recruited by former Head Coach at Dalhousie University, Carolyn Savoy, who helped her fulfill her dream of playing in the CIS.  

After a successful three-year career at Dalhousie, Danie returned home to BC and began to give back to the game—coaching first at Langley, Sr. Secondary and then at Langley Christian School, the AA Girls Basketball powerhouse we know today.
