SENIOR WOMEN'S TEAMS COACH
Tess Kelley & John Antonecchia
9th March 2008
The Ste-Anne's RFC Board is pleased to announce the latest appointment to the
Ste-Anne's coaching team, and coach of the 2008 season Women's teams:
Jonathan Chiniborch, a.k.a. Chinny.
Chinny is a young, enthusiastic and determined individual who will be a major
asset to the development of the Clubn's women's program. He joined the
Ste-Anne's Club in 1995 and unfortunately, while he valiantly played through
several injuries, he had to retire prematurely due to a knee injury. In
addition, he coached the St-Thomas HS boys team to 4 league championships as
coach from 1999-2002.
His extensive Rugby background
includes:
St-Thomas
High School: 1996-1998
John Abbott
College: 1998-2000 (MVP in 2000)
Concordia
University: 2001-2002 (Rookie of the year, MVP)
Montreal
Menace/Caribou: 2000-2003
Canada U23
Academy: 2002-2003
A versatile
player, Chinny has played every position in the pack, as well as scrum half,
fly half and inside center. Over the years, he has assisted in coaching
several stalwarts on SABRFC men's teams, including Andrew (Shaggy) Newnham,
Robert Austen, John (Mini Chinny) Antonecchia, Matthew Degraff, and Aaron
Graham. Under his guidance these player's were elevated to a status within the
club usually reserved for rock stars or Grillo.
Jon also
enjoys golf, magazines, collecting seashells, and long walks on the beach. We
are excited to have Chinny back out at the pitch and know he will bring
contagious energy to our Club.
