MacKinnon in the huddle
at Franklin Pierce
The CHS Athletic Department is thrilled to announce the hiring of Eric MacKinnon as our Boys Varsity Basketball Coach.  MacKinnon becomes just the 3rd Boys Varsity Basketball Coach at CHS since 2003 (Mike Devoll- 2003/2004 thru 2010/2011 and Ryan Gordy- 2011/2012 thru 2020/2021).

MacKinnon comes to CHS from the college coaching ranks where he was an assistant coach at Franklin Pierce College in New Hampshire from 2015-2020. He has also been a director of Boston Celtics Basketball camps.  He currently teaches Wellness/PE in Easton Public Schools. 

We are thrilled to have a coach of Eric's collegiate experience coming to head our program.  He is a passionate, knowledgeable, committed individual who is ready for this opportunity.  We are so very lucky to have landed him. 

Eric MacKinnon-
CHS Boys Varsity
Basketball Coach 

MacKinnon had this to say upon his appointment to the position-

"I could not be more honored and humbled for this opportunity to join the Canton Bulldog community. Canton High School has a proud tradition of great athletes, outstanding coaches and a culture of doing thing the right way. I can't wait to get to work with these student-athletes and help build a championship program in one of the most competitive leagues in the state."

MacKinnon returns to coach in the league he played in in high school as he was a member of several successful teams at Oliver Ames in his playing days. 

We wish him the best of luck as he takes over our program!

Digital Ticketing for Bulldog Events is here!

The CHS Athletic Department is happy to announce that we are now selling tickets digitally using the platform- TicketSpicket

Beginning with tonight's soccer game, fans may purchase tickets on their phone and present the "active" ticket to our Bulldog Event Staff person at the gate. There is currently no option to print paper tickets but it is EASY to purchase tickets and access them on your phone. 

There is a small convenience fee charged by the company but that will be disclosed at time of purchase. 

It's an easy way to buy tickets to our events and to avoid lines. 

Please bear with us as we learn to manage this system and work out any kinks!
