C. Mark Omer Memorial Cup

The C. Mark Omer Memorial Cup was donated to the TRU men’s basketball team from the Omer family in memory of the late Mark Omer, and the family has graciously continued to donate money to the McDonalds Desert Classic on a yearly basis. Mark Omer’s son, Garth Omer, played with the UCC Sun Demons during the 92/93, 95/96, 96/97, and the 2000/01 seasons. Garth also donated his time and helped out the men’s basketball program as an assistant coach during the 97/98, 98/99, and 99/00 seasons.
It is fitting that the trophy is named after a member of the Omer family, and the TRU Athletics & Recreation department would like to thank Garth and his family for their endless contribution to the men’s basketball program.
