Donning an air boot cast, which allowed him to start doing physical therapy, including swimming for cardio as he could not utilize the running track, MacMillan came to the gym on crutches, where, with the help of a physical therapist, he recovered remarkably well. Involved in the sport since the age of five, MacMillan holds an impressive a record of 34 wins and two losses. A leader both in and out of the boxing ring, MacMillan was appointed valedictorian of the 2011 Colonel Gray High School graduating class.

  • Team Ontario – Week One Summary Performance at the 2013 Canada Summer Games August 12, 2013 – Sherbrooke, Quebec
    Team Ontario – Week One Summary Performance at the 2013 Canada Summer Games August 12, 2013 – Sherbrooke, Quebec The first week of competition of the 2013 Canada Games in Sherbrooke, Quebec has now come to a close for Team Ontario. At the mid-way point, Ontario is the leader in terms of medal count and flag point count for the 2013 Canada Summer Games. The first week of the 2013 Canada Games featured competition in baseball, basketball, cycling, soccer, sailing, softball, swimming, tennis and volleyball. Below is a summary of Team Ontario’s performance during week one competitions. Basketball – Men’s Team Ontario men's basketball capped off an impressive week of play with a 93-49 win over Team Manitoba to capture the gold medal. The victory earns team captain, Brody Clarke, a place in the history books as the only Canadian basketball player ever to win four gold medals at this level of competition through a combination of national championship and multi-sport events. Not only did men's basketball perform well on the court they also personified what the Canada Games are all about off the court. The team was often spotted at various competition venues supporting their fellow teammates with catchy song and dance routines. The team even went a step further, especially team manager Warren Williams, by using social media (Twitter) every spare moment of each day which significantly increased Team Ontario's profile. Although the team has departed from the games their Tweets are still flowing at steady pace containing reminisce about their week one experiences and providing words of encouragement for week two sports.
