Aguiar selected as District 1 Rep to NATA- Secondary Schools Committee

Big news out of the Athletic Training office as our long-time Athletic Trainer- Kristen Aguiar has been named to a very prestigious post in the world of high school athletic training. This certainly comes as no surprise to all of us who know her. Her commitment, care, love and devotion to our student athletes here at CHS is unmatched. Below is a blog entry Kristen was asked by me to put together after the great news was announced.

I am very proud to announce that I have been selected to be the District 1 Representative to the National Athletic Training (NATA)Secondary Schools Committee (SSATC). This means along with being the chair of the Athletic Trainers of Massachusetts (ATOM) Secondary Schools Committee, I will represent all of New England nationally. I officially will begin in 2026, as Amy Wiggins (the current Representative) finishes her tenure on the committee.

From the NATA website: The Secondary School Athletic Trainers’ Committee (SSATC) is dedicated to recognizing the unique concerns and responsibilities associated with the secondary school athletic training practice setting, and to developing and providing materials and information that may enhance the effectiveness and marketability of athletic trainers working in this setting.

I have worked diligently with ATOM, and MIAA to continue to make interscholastic sports a safe and enjoyable experience for all our student-athletes. When I was a young AT, I watched my mentors- Jeff “Stoney” Stone, Maria Hutsick, and Dan Lussier make their mark on athletic health and safety locally. It is an honor to have the torch passed to me. In the past year Canton High School was recognized by the NATA as a First Team Safe Sport School, and I was honored with the ATOM Service Award at the January state meeting.

Kristen with last years Girls Soccer team
celebrating CHS's naming as a NATA Safe Sport
School- an initiative lead by Kristen.

This new role will include me attending Regional and National Meetings in person to collaborate with ATs around the region and country. I am very excited to see what I can bring back not only to my space here in Canton but to Massachusetts and beyond. Currently the committee is working on programs to get students more involved in Athletic Training at the High School level to grow the profession, and have initiated a Micro-credential for Mental Health in Secondary Schools. These are both things I am passionate about-and excited to be involved in moving forward.

I can not thank the Canton Public Schools, Danny Erickson, Jeff Sperling, and Derek Folan for all their support over the last 10 years that has allowed me to grow into these roles. I would also like to thank my AT Squad for their support and friendship and the push to pursue these things.

John O'Sullivan visits Canton High School

John O'Sullivan discussing the
importance of Joy in sports

On this past Tuesday- October 7th, 2025- the Canton High School Athletic department hosted renowned author and expert on team dynamics- John O'Sullivan. John worked with 100 student athlete leaders in workshops during the day, our entire Bulldog coaching staff in the afternoon, and addressed more than 600 student athletes and parents in the CHS Morse Auditorium that evening. It was a great day to be a Bulldog.

One of John's books, Champion Teammate, has a chapter that focuses on the importance of gratitude so that is the approach I will take in this blog entry.

First- Thank you to John O'Sullivan. John came to CHS on the heals of a three-week work trip to France that kept him from his home and family in Bend, Oregon. His Canton pitstop on his way home came after three-weeks on the road. I cannot thank him enough for stopping here and sharing with us his insight and passion of teams.

He had so many important, simple yet powerful messages for our Bulldog community. Here are just a few-

Your influence is never neutral.
How you do one thing is how you do everything.
I've never seen anyone make somebody better by making them feel worse.

CLICK HERE for more info on John

Second- Thank you to our CHS Athletic Booster Club. Our CHS Athletic Booster Club is filled with true heroes. They do the work behind the scenes to help make the CHS student athlete experience a special one. Their help with banquets, senior nights, championship recognition, equipment enhancements, and so much more! Please consider joining today. CLICK HERE to join.

Captains and future CHS athletics leaders worked
hard with John digging into team and leadership

Finally- Thank you to our CHS Coaches and Student Athletes- These type of experiences are only effective if those participants who are in the audience buy-in.

Our coaches were awesome in their workshop. They asked questions. Pushed back. Added real a real world angle to the discussion. And ultimately our coaches walked away with a great reminder of some of the most important things we do.

Our student athletes were awesome in both the workshops and the evening presentation. I sat in on all of the events. Our kids were active, assertive and super-attentive during the workshops. And our kids were an excellent audience for John's evening speech. Not too easy to get a group of hundreds of high school kids engaged. That takes a great presenter AND a great audience. We had both.

Our parents must be commended for taking the time to come out and share in our messaging. Parents are such a HUGE part of a child's athletic journey. Having them hear the same message as their child(ren) is so important. Thanks to those who attended.

So- That's a wrap. Let's us all take some of these messages as we navigate the rest of the 2025-26 Bulldog athletic year! Go dogs!

Oops. Almost forgot- thanks to the custodians, library staff administration and other staff who helped to make the day impactful.

Coach Fallon and Varsity Football team honored with Pats COW honor

Coach Fallon and the team upon receiving the award

Beating the Franklin Panthers (34-0) last Friday night for the first time since 1990....yes 1990....was not only a HUGE win over a traditional Hockomock power, it also caught the eye of the New England Patriots, who rewarded the Dogs and coach Fallon with the Patriots High School Coach of the Week Award for the win.

Patriot and NFL Hall of Famer Andre Tippett visited CHS on Tuesday to present the award to Coach Fallon, his coaching staff and the team in a brief but really cool ceremony!

There will be a feature on Patriots All-Access on Friday night at 7:00pm on WBZ TV 4. Set your DVR's (still a thing?) as I'm sure you will be out supporting the Bulldogs at Norwood at 6:00pm!

Statement on "Captains Practices" and other summer opportunities

Hello Bulldog Nation-

As our student athletes head into summer, we want to clarify for parents and student athletes, the nature of activities taking place in the summer months.

The simply way to start is that there are NO MANDATORY or OFFICIAL CHS Athletic activities during the summer months until we officially start the fall seasons in mid/late August.

Captains' Practices- These are not school sponsored/monitored activities. Captains' practices are not within the rules of the MIAA (Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association). We understand and encourage our kids to get together to train in their off-seasons, but not as official captains. Parents/Guardians should be aware that there is no adult supervision at these get togethers.

Other summer opportunities- This incudes camps, leagues, clinics, etc. These are all OPTIONAL and are in no way associated with CHS. There are many great opportunities out there but be aware that they are not school-sponsored and participation is not expected of any CHS student athlete.

(CHS Strength and Conditioning is the only summer activity we officially offer at CHS.)

Now go out there and Pound the Rock! Work hard all summer and get better at your sport/craft! You won't see the improvements daily.....but in 8 weeks....the work will really show.

Bulldogs honored at Hock Student Athlete Banquet

Last night, the Hockomock League hosted its annual Hockomock League Scholar Athlete banquet. The recipients of these awards were two students, one male and one female, from each of the schools in the Hock. The senior students selected represent what it means to excel both in the classroom and on the field. Those awarded exemplify the “student” in student-athlete. There are more than 1,000 senior student athletes that compete in the league each year, so this small group of 24 being honored is an elite group. Canton’s two recipients were Tess Giglio and Max Eagles (pictured below).

Both Giglio and Eagles have earned high GPA’s in their time at Canton High School and have been incredible not only as athletes but as teammates. Also in attendance was Canton High School Principal Jeff Sperling and CHS Athletic Director Danny Erickson. Sperling expressed excitement for the event stating that it is “special” and “unique to the Hock.” Sperling also recognized the significance of how the night unites the teams within the league, keeping sportsmanship “a top priority.”

The keynote speaker for the evening was Canton Superintendent, Derek Folan. Folan, who has spent his entire life in the Hockomock League, shared his story of resilience and the importance of building relationships. Canton’s contingent was proud of his remarks.

Giglio’s contributions to the school don’t stop at the turf or the classroom. She has been a key member of her class’ student council for the past four years, creating incredible events and fundraising for her peers. As a member of the girls varsity soccer team at CHS since her freshman year, Tess is an asset on the field as a great two way player. In the winter she brings her leadership to the Basketball court as a captain and two year varsity member. She played great in the team’s matchup against North Attleboro where they lost in a close 56-61 matchup. In the fall, Giglio will be attending the University of South Carolina to study nursing

As for Eagles, who is a captain for soccer and lacrosse, he was recognized as a leader in his three sports. Since freshman year Eagles has absolutely dominated in faceoffs during the lacrosse season winning 73% making him a team leader. He received a Hock All-Star Honorable Mention for his success and also made the League’s Second Team for the 2024 season. As for hockey, Eagles is a forward for the state finalist team who went all the way to TD Garden for the D2 State Championship this year. His skills go beyond athletics as he has taken multiple AP classes specifically AP Art during his time at CHS. He is an incredible artist and has been recognized for his skill and dedication. In the fall, Eagles will be attending Penn State where he will be majoring in economics.

The CHS Athletic Department would like to congratulate Giglio and Eagles on their accomplishments and wish them the best as they continue to the next chapters of their lives.
