Career highlights and awards

Kevin Loiselle is a Canadian professional basketball player who currently plays for the Halifax Hurricanes of the National Basketball League of Canada (NBL).

College career

Loiselle was a second-team All-Collégial AAA selection with Dawson College in 2008.[1]

Professional career

Loiselle has been named to multiple NBL All-Canada Teams and was named an NBL Canada All-Star in 2014.[2] He was selected by the Express with the fourth pick in the second round of the 2011 NBL Canada draft. He helped the team capture two league titles.[3]

On November 4, 2015, Loiselle signed with the London Lightning, remaining in the Canadian league.[4] Team head coach Kyle Julius said, "If you watched him play last year he looked like a small cog in the wheel, but I don't think he was valued enough."[5] But on February 16, 2016, Loiselle left the Lightning, with the team retaining his NBL Canada playing rights.[6] According to Julius, he had problems with discipline after not receiving enough playing time. At the time, Loiselle planned on playing in the Dominican Republic.[6]

On March 11, 2016, Loiselle was traded by the Lightning to the Halifax Hurricanes in exchange for Anthony Criswell.[7]
