Reunion Ambassadors: Then & Now
Graham Cocking (BRLS ’99)
What are you up to now?
Two things keep me busy professionally now. I am the Executive Director of Lakeshore Arena Corporation which operates the Ford Performance Centre, in Toronto. The Ford Performance Centre is the official practice facility of the Toronto Maple Leafs and Toronto Marlies. I oversee the facility and our relationship with MLSE as tenants. I have a staff of 12 in Sales, Accounting, Operations and Customer Service.
I also own a company called Crush on Niagara Wine Tours with my wife, Jennifer. We provide wine tours and transportation in the Niagara Region with a fleet of seven tour vehicles and a staff of 11 drivers.
Brock Highlights
I loved all four years I had at Brock.
My first year, living in Decew residence in Shickluna, I met some amazing people and we got along incredibly well.Living off-campus for the last three years at the corner of Glenridge and Glendale my roommates were Mark Cheal and Cliff Blizzard and we are still friends today. Chris Keleher and Rob Fox lived next door.
I really enjoyed the intramural activities at Brock. We won the men’s indoor soccer league championship in my first year with the guys from my residence. I played intramural outdoor soccer, co-ed broom ball and, men’s hockey as well – I still have my jersey!
Graduating in 1999 was a highlight as well and I’ll always remember the look on my parents faces when I accepted my degree. It was a busy four years balancing school, two jobs, sports and a social life. But I’d go back and do it again in a heartbeat.
Favourite Songs
I would always ask Moose & Carl to play Rosey and Grey by the Lowest of the Low on a Thursday night at the London arms. I also loved their version of Unknown Legend by Neil Young.
During my time at Brock, the Tragically Hip was my favourite band. I had a 5-dick CD player in my room so I could rotate their first 5-albums.
One random day, sitting in Isaacs having a coffee in between classes a bank from Nova Scotia called Highland Heights dropped into play. Their version of Angel from Montgomery by John Prine was amazing. I then managed to see them at the Lower Deck in Halifax the next year.
