A true basketball maven, Marika Guérin was named Manager of Communications and Community for the Ottawa BlackJacks in January of 2020, moving from Québec to help launch the expansion pro team in the nation’s capital. She is responsible for media relations, community development, social media, website management and communications, while serving on the CEBL PR Committee.

A native of Ste-Victoire de Sorel, Québec, Guerin lived in Montreal for five years and attended McGill University, where she earned a Graduate Diploma in Applied Marketing while working as a Communications Assistant for McGill Athletics and Recreation.

From 2014-17, while completing a Bachelor of Kinesiology, Guérin played for the McGill women’s basketball team and helped the Martlets win the first U SPORTS Basketball National Championship in school history along with three provincial titles.

The point guard previously attended Cégep de Montmorency in Laval, Québec. After missing her first season due to a torn ACL, Guérin and her team won two consecutive CCAA national championships and provincial titles.

When she’s not on a basketball court, Guérin enjoys creating art and giving back to the community.
