ā€œThese three are the coaching, the academics and the family atmosphere that the team presents,ā€ explained Croucher.Ā  ā€œThe coaches have all been so welcoming and interested in me as not only a football player but also a student.ā€

ā€œBeing able to play for an amazing group of coaches all around is going to be great. Also, to get to play football and study at one of the top universities across the country with some of the best academics is something that all of us commits need to value, and it’s great that McMaster has the program that I want to study. Finally, being around the group of players on the team, as well as listening to the coaches and their styles of coaching first hand has made me realize that this isn’t just another football team, but it is a family, and a family that I’m excited to join and be a part of.ā€

Currently, the defensive standout is completing his final season with Westmount Wildcats of the Hamilton Wentworth Intercollegiate Athletic Association (HWIAA).Ā  Additionally, Croucher has suited up for the Hamilton Hurricanes of the Ontario Football Conference (OFC).
