The Canadian Mennonite University Blazers Men’s Basketball program has announced the commitment of Winnipeg’s Carter Recksiedler for the 2026-27 season.
Recksiedler, a 6’4” forward from Linden Christian School, joins the Blazers following a strong high school career that included helping Linden Christian capture the AAA Provincial Championship this past season.
In addition to his provincial title, Recksiedler was recently named to the AAA Boys All-Manitoba Team and also participated in the 2026 Basketball Manitoba Graduating All-Star Game, recognizing him among the province’s top graduating high school players.
“Carter will bring a championship mentality to the program, having won AAA Provincials at Linden Christian,” said CMU Blazers Head Coach Scott Martin. “He is a high-energy player with good upside, and has already received quality coaching at Linden under Colten Gryba and with his club team Empire Elite under Tyrece Viner-Cox.”
Recksiedler has developed through both the high school and club basketball systems in Manitoba and is expected to bring versatility, athleticism, and strong compete level to the Blazers lineup.
The CMU Blazers compete in the Manitoba Colleges Athletic Conference (MCAC) and continue to build a competitive roster focused on developing student-athletes both on and off the court.
