Keaton MacEachern
Biography:
When Keaton MacEachern wanted to return to sports, the Hagkulls introduced him to the Chilliwack Cheetahs wheelchair basketball program.
MacEachern was receiving leukemia treatment when he lost functionality in his legs.
Before the leukemia treatment, MacEachern played soccer, baseball, and football. Looking to fill the void, Brad Hagkull introduced MacEachern to wheelchair basketball.
The Chilliwack, B.C. native also attended a ‘Have a Go Day’ where he tried wheelchair racing on a track and sledge hockey. But the speed of the game is what hooked MacEachern to wheelchair basketball.
Off the court, MacEachern is in his second year at the University of the Fraser Valley in Abbotsford, B.C., where he majors in Psychology.
