Carl Nelson and George Hoo in an early years time out.
Welcome to the Hurricane wall of Fame
The Wall of Fame page is dedicated to Huntsville Hurricane Basketball Club founding members George Hoo and Carl Nelson. These two coaches, who arrived in Huntsville during the same period, when basketball quality was at its lowest level; demanded commitment and effort from their players and turned it into a program of excellence for over a quarter of a century. Carl and George coached with the Hurricanes for 27 and 19 years resepctively, both often coaching multiple teams in the same season. Their teams won multiple championships while supporting the high school program which culminated in an OFSAA Gold Medal and a silver medal at the 2000 National Invitational Tournament. George and Carl set the coaching standard for dedication and excellence that displayed an example for those that followed, influencing thousands of young athletes and many coaches.
We would like to thank and honor everyone who has helped shape of the face of the Huntsville Hurricanes Basketball Club over the years. We believe that it takes a large community of Athletes, Coaches, Managers and Builders to create an organization such as ours and feel that this list reflects a superior level of dedication and excellence.
