Bulldog Kick-off Presentation for student athletes and parents

The Canton High School Athletic Department is excited to announce our upcoming Student-Athlete & Parent/Guardian Kick-Off Night, happening on Tuesday, September 15th from 7:00pm-8:15pm at the CHS Morse Auditorium. This is a mandatory event for all student-athletes currently in season, as well as those planning to participate in winter or spring sports. We also ask that at least one parent/guardian attend alongside their athletes.

The evening is sponsored by our CHS Athletic Booster Club. This group will be on-hand to welcome new members. Please consider becoming a member of our Booster Club- so many upsides! CLICK HERE to join. 

State Champions- Teddy & Brian
Shuman on the Garden ice after the 
State Finals win in March. 

The Goal of the Night- 

The goal of the presentation is to bring our Bulldog Athletics community together to start the year with a common vision and message. 

Why You Should Be There-

This night isn’t just about policies and logistics (though we’ll briefly cover some of those, too). It’s about setting the tone for another great year of Bulldog athletics.

Featured Speaker- Coach Brian Shuman

The Canton High School Athletic Department is pleased to welcome Brian Shuman back to CHS as our featured speaker for this event. 

Shuman spent 23 years coaching in the Canton High School boys hockey program, including 21 seasons as head coach from 2005–2026. During his tenure, the Bulldogs won five MIAA Division 2 State Championships and 19 Hockomock League titles. He was named the 2019 USA Today National Boys Hockey Coach of the Year and is a 2026 inductee into the Massachusetts State Hockey Coaches Association Hall of Fame. He has also spent more than two decades working with young people as a Social Studies teacher at Westwood High School.

Brian will share lessons and perspectives drawn not only from his years as a coach, but also from his experiences as a parent and longtime member of the Canton community. His message will focus on embracing the unique opportunity of high school athletics and appreciating the people and experiences that make the journey meaningful. Having experienced Canton athletics from many of the same perspectives as the athletes and families in the audience, Brian hopes to offer a candid and personal reflection on how to make the most of these years while they are happening.

See you there!

Capeau named Head Varsity Cheer Coach

Coach Makayla Capeau

The  Canton High School Athletic Department is thrilled to welcome Makayla Capeau as our new Varsity Cheer Coach.  Capeau takes the reigns from Jenny O'Neill who had served in the role for two years. 

Capeau- a Middleboro native- served on the cheer coaching staff at her alma mater, Middleboro High School at both the JV and Varsity levels. Beyond high school cheer, she has been a part of the Mitchell Memorial Club Youth Program, assisting with athlete skill development, conditioning, competition preparation and team logistics. Cheer has been a huge part of her life since the age of four. 

Capeau, who is pursuing a degree in Human Services at Bristol Community College, is looking to build a strong CHS Cheer program through hard work and dedication.

She had this to say upon her appointment- 

"I am incredibly honored and excited to join the Canton High School community as the Head Varsity Cheer Coach. I look forward to building a positive, hardworking program where student-athletes can grow in confidence, leadership, teamwork, and school pride. I can't wait to get started and work with the athletes, families, and the entire Canton community."

CHS Athletic Director Danny Erickson praised Capeau- 

"She is ready for this challenge.  It was clear from the start of the search process that she would bring a passion and dedication to this position.  I'm confident that Makayla will build a strong culture in the Bulldog Cheer program."

Ford named Head Boys Hockey Coach

Coach Tim Ford with his family
(and the State Championship plaque!)

The CHS Athletic Department is thrilled to announce the hiring of Tim Ford as our next Head Boys Varsity Ice Hockey coach.  Ford replaces long-time hockey coaching legend Brian Shuman. 

Ford is no stranger to the Bulldog bench as he has served as a top assistant to Coach Shuman since 2014- contributing greatly to this period of unparalleled success for the program. His first visit to the Green and White's bench came as a player under Shuman where he learned what it really meant to be a part of the Bulldog Hockey family.

Ford now resides in Canton with his wife Jenn and two sons- Owen and Hayes. He works for the Canton Parks and Recreation Department where he is involved in managing the Ponkapoag Rink.  

Ford had this to say upon his appointment-

"It is an incredible honor to lead a program that has meant so much to me. I'm grateful for the opportunity to build on the tradition Coach Shuman and our staff established while helping our players grow as teammates, competitors, and young men. I am excited for what lies ahead for Canton Hockey. I'm Excited to lead the next generation of Bulldogs while honoring the programs proud history.” 

CHS Athletic Director Danny Erickson stated-

"We are really thrilled to have Timmy take the top spot in our boys hockey coaching staff. He is more than up for the job.  He told us early in the interview process that this was his "dream job."  It was clear throughout the entire process that was a genuine statement.  It is easy to see that he is passionate about developing student athletes both on and off the ice.  He is not looking to 'fill the shoes' of Coach Shuman. He is looking to forge his own path while maintaining the program's values. He is going to do a wonderful job.

Tennis anyone? Chin named new Girls Varsity Tennis Coach

Coach Brandon Chin

The Canton High School Athletic Department is happy to announce the hiring of Brandan Chin as our new Girls Varsity Tennis Coach.

Chin had this to say upon his appointment:

“I am extremely grateful for this opportunity to coach the CHS Girls Team this upcoming season. The Canton community has been so welcoming to me in the 7 years of working here and I’m excited to share my passion for tennis with the players. Looking forward to contributing to an excellent Bulldog program!” 

CHS Athletic Director Danny Erickson had this to say on the new hire:

"Coach Chin is ready to hit the ground running with this team. He brings a positive passion to the position. I think the girls are going to love playing for him. Great tennis background and understanding, but an even greater leader and team builder."

Girls Track State Champions!

Hand-in-hand celebrating a history making victory

The Canton High School Girls Track and Field team are State Champions for the first time in school history. This caps off the last of three State Championships for Bulldog Athletics this school year (Golf and Boys Hockey.) What a year!

The CHS Track program has come a long way over the past decade. Rewind ten years back and the thought of one of our track teams being crowned State Champions seemed ridiculous.  Canton High was not a “track school.”  

But it’s a new day in Canton. Coach Anna Amico with the support of Boys Coach Brian Gotsell and a wonderful group of committed assistant coaches have built a strong culture in the Track program- a winning culture. From where I sit, the first words that come to mind when I think about this winning culture of our track team is DIVERSITY and INCLUSION. 

Our Championship Girls Track team may represent who CHS is, better than any other single athletic program in our school. Our team is made up of girls of many races, ethnicities, and backgrounds. They come to the CHS track daily to work together for a common goal, yet they are all coming from so many different histories, experiences and lives.  All of these backgrounds and life experiences come together to capture excellence.   They each put in the work to contribute to team success.  And they each put in the work building strong relationships with each other- these are the keys to championship success. 

Their strength is their diversity. Their strength is their effort to include everyone.

This year’s Championship Girls Track team’s racial breakdown is roughly as follows-

2026 D3 Varsity Girls Track & Field State Champions

86- Total team members

48- White  (56%)

20- Black (23%)

18- Asian, Hispanic, Middle Eastern (21%)

That is who we are. That is the makeup of our Championship Girls Track team. That is who CHS is today. And it is awesome!

I’m so fortunate that I work at-  and my own children go to- a diverse school that welcomes and includes all. Our Girls Track & Field team….yes our STATE CHAMPIONSHIP Track and Field team represents who we are- Diverse and Excellent. 

PS- Huge shoutout to our Individual D3 State Champions from our track program as well-

Lauren Raffetto- 800 meter

Addy Azar- 2 mile

Chloe Dubuisson, Lauren Raffetto, Grace Martinek and Addy Azar- 4x400

Lauren Raffetto- All-State Champion in the 800 meter (all divisions)

Coach Idris Senyonjo

Bulldog Varsity Coach

It is bittersweet as the CHS Athletic Department says goodbye to Coach Idris Senyonjo and welcomes Coach Tom Greenaway as our next Girls Varsity Soccer Coach.

Senyonjo has served as the Bulldog Girls Varsity Soccer Coach since the 2020 season, leading the Bulldogs to much success over that time period including a Hockomock Davenport Championship and several deep MIAA tournament runs.  According to CHS Athletic Director Danny Erickson, "Idris brought a professionalism, soccer IQ, and caring heart to the program. He will be missed. We thank him for his time, care and energy."

Taking over the program is Coach Tom Greenaway.  Greenaway is new to high school soccer, but has been a mainstay in the local club scene for more than a decade. Many CHS soccer student athletes have participated in programs through Canton Youth Soccer and local clubs that Greenaway has led.

Newly appointed Coach 
Tom Greenaway

Greenaway has held numerous soccer coaching and leadership positions with FCUSA, Steel Sports and Seacoast United where he currently coaches and manages tournaments and events for the club. He has been a part of many summer soccer camps that scores of CHS student athletes have participated in in recent years. 

Coach Greenaway had this to say upon his appointment as Head Bulldog Coach- 

"I’m excited to join Canton High School as the new varsity girls head coach. This program holds a strong personal connection for me having coached within the youth soccer organization and worked with many of the HS players over the last 15 years. I’m also looking forward and being part of a great athletic community and developing a talented group of young female players."

CHS Athletic Director had this to say upon Greenaway's appointment- 

"I have known Tom for more than ten years. I've seen him work with youth players of all levels.  His soccer knowledge, organizational skills, and most importantly- his ability to build strong relationships- has been evident throughout. I'm very excited to see his coaching journey continue and grow here at CHS."
