Every now and then we enjoy putting the spotlight on the young athletes from the Scarborough Beaches area that achieve great success. We want to congratulate local athletes who have committed to NCAA Division 1 programs, Canadian University athletics or are now playing on junior/pro teams.
These stories aren’t a pitch about how coming to Bob Acton Sports guarantees a path to high-level sports, they are about how talent, hard work and perseverance lead to success.
Cooper Brozek
Lacrosse, Harvard University
When we think of Cooper, we see a kid who genuinely loves the game of lacrosse. Watching him “practice” outside the rink, it’s clear that it doesn’t feel like work; he simply enjoys having his stick in hand.
We remember him from his early days in Beaches Minor, his stick was practically glued to him, not just during practice.
His father, Zack, often jokes about the damage Cooper has caused to their house and backyard over the years with his continuous wall ball sessions.
Cooper attended Balmy Beach and St. Mike’s, and he spent the past two years at Deerfield Prep School in Massachusetts.
Like many of our Beaches kids, he was a dual-sport athlete, playing both hockey and lacrosse. He spent years in the West Hill AA system and one year with the REPS AAA before fully focusing on lacrosse—and it’s clearly paid off! 😊
Good luck, Cooper!
