Lily Brook
Biography
Lily Brook was actively involved in sports growing up, playing everything from basketball to soccer, skiing and running cross country; however, that changed when she was diagnosed with osteochondritis in her ankles as an 11-year-old.
With her focus shifted to adaptive sport, Brook first tried swimming and then boxing – wheelchair basketball introduced to her by the BC Wheelchair Basketball Society in Phys Ed class – eventually helped her with her boxing aspirations.
During the pandemic, the Salmon Arm, B.C. native decided to get more involved with wheelchair basketball. She was regularly involved in Zoom sessions with coach Joe Higgins, but it wasn’t until the 2022 Women’s National Championship Festival at the Richmond Olympic Oval in Richmond, B.C. that Brook finally had a chance to test her skills on the court.
Brook made her Team Canada debut with the Women’s Under-25 team at the 2023 U25 Women’s World Championship in Bangkok, Thailand.
