TONY HOUSE was a two-time Ottawa All Star, game MVP and Ontario High School All Star, winning a Junior and Senior Championship with St. Pius X High School. He was highly recruited out of high school and went on to start and play for the nationally ranked University of Manitoba Bisons. Tony attended two Canadian National Team tryouts as well as an Olympic Team camp. Tony has been coaching for over 30 years and has coached a number of successful basketball teams including the senior boy’s programs at Nepean High School and Sacred Heart High School. In 2010-11 House’s Sacred Heart Huskies would win a AAAA City Championship and earn a top 4 ranking in Ontario. Tony has also coached the U19 Ottawa Guardsmen and has been a driving force and coach with the Ottawa Elite program since its inception. His U16 OE team would win the first Ontario Cup Division 1 title for the organization and Final 4 program in CYBL when he coached.

Tony partnered with Leo Rautins to form the Rautins-House Basketball Camp that has been a fixture in the community for 30 years and has coordinated the annual Ottawa High School Boys All-Star game for over 20 years. Seeing a need for a high school All-Star game for girls as well, Tony started the Ottawa High School Girls All-Star game for girls as well, which he has been coordinating for the past 3 years.

The National Junior Circuit is pleased to welcome Curt McLean to our Board of Directors to take on the role of Head of Officials and Convenor for the National Junior Circuit.
Curt is the Founder & President of CM Sports whose mission is to develop and deliver a quality, interactive and innovative developmental basketball training program as a tool to guide, educate and mentor inner-city youths of Toronto. He has coached multiple high school and club programs at all levels in the GTA and boasts an impressive officiating resume.
Mr. McLean has officiated over 3000 games and championships throughout the Province of Ontario and the world and is also a member of several basketball associations both in Ontario and internationally including:

(IAABO) ●International Association of Approved Basketball Officials (OABO) ●Ontario Association of Basketball Officials

In 2007, Mr. McLean was invited to attend a training camp with the National Basketball Association (NBA) to try out for the status as an NBA official. This invitation is an excellent achievement, as only a selected few with the essential skills are invited to officiate at these special basketball camps.  Mr. McLean was amongst the elite of NBA/NCAA referees who judged and critiqued his performances. Mr. McLean is the second and only Jamaican-Canadian who has achieved such a standing in this area of sports. Becoming an NBA Official is one of Mr. McLean's career goals and this important phase is in keeping with his motto "Where Dreams Become a Reality".
