He coached high school sports 1971 -2001 and he served as Athletic Director at Catholic Central High School 1987 -2007. His contribution to school sport was not only in coaching but also leadership in the many volunteer positions he held in various sports councils and leagues. In 1971-1976 at Canmore High School, Cal coached girls basketball, girls volleyball, track & field, badminton, and cross country. In 1973, his girls basketball team won Zone Championships, the first team banner in that school’s history. In 1976, Cal coached the football team to earn the T.

This is the same championship event that Cal threw the winning pass as the team backup quarterback for Catholic Central in 1963. In 1979 -1981, Cal coached at the Girls Volleyball Zones bringing home gold medals, and a Provincial Bronze medal ,1981.

Cal has been and is highly regarded and respected by players, coaches and administrators to this day. He is still contributing to CCHS Cougars Girls Basketball. Catholic Central High School has named the basketball court in the main gym ‘Cal’s Court. and the school hosts a Girls Basketball tournament named ‘Cal O’Brien Classic’.
