Jordan Baker

Jordan is an alumnus of Harry Ainlay where he was a multi-sport
star in basketball and volleyball. Jordan continued on to play at the University of Alberta where
he set the mark in numerous statistical categories and helped the Golden Bears to many different
levels of team success. After graduation from the University of Alberta, Jordan has made his
Titan family proud by playing professional basketball overseas and for the local CEBL franchise
the Edmonton Stingers. Jordan’s playing career has been superb but what sets him apart is his
willingness to help those who hope to one day follow in his footsteps. Jordan has given back to
the game that has given him so much whether it be as an assistant coach on the Harry Ainlay
senior men’s basketball team, partnering with basketball Alberta to offer a high school all-star
game for metro athletes or running a basketball camp (Baker Elite); Jordan has consistently
modeled and mentored positive actions for the next generation of student-athletes. Jordan’s
acumen as an athlete has been well documented and his coachable nature and desire to find an
edge and improve is an inspiration to current student-athletes. Even well after his high-school
career Jordan continues to work on his craft and is a shining example of determination and
humility. Jordan is currently an assistant coach with the University of Alberta Golden Bears
Basketball program and continues to invest in the lives of others. Jordan’s selfless attitude and
passion for investing in educational-athletics make him a worthy inductee for the Alberta
Schools Athletics Association hall of fame.
