StFX has a reputation that precedes it; that goes without saying. On the academic front, Nick Driscoll said he chose the school because of its academic reputation. He is interested in studying political science and he said the school is building a new political science building.
As for football, Driscoll chose StFX because of the family atmosphere that surrounds the team. āI like and respect the coaches a lot,ā he added. āI have been previously coached by Coach Van de Heuvel and Coach Svec when I was representing Nova Scotia at the Canada Cup, and I admire Head Coach Waterman and the rest of the coaching staff a lot.ā
When Driscoll was nine years old, he began played with the Bedford Saints in his hometown of Bedford, Nova Scotia. He stayed with the team until he was 14 before joining his high school squad, the Charles P. Allen Cheetahs (Nova Scotia School Athletic Federation) for three years.
