About

Chloe Rowe is entering her fourth season as head coach of the Humber badminton program in 2025. Rowe was introduced as head coach by athletic director Ray Chateau in October 2022.

Rowe took over for decorated coach Karen Ng, who announced her retirement after thirteen seasons and 14 national championships with Humber badminton.

In her first season at the helm, Rowe made the difficult decision of splitting up 2022 mixed champions Airi Moromisato and Sirapob Kongubon, and her faith in her student-athletes paid dividends. The tandems of Moromisato/Duong and Kongubon/Batra ran the table at nationals, capturing the men's and women's doubles gold medals.

In her fourth and final season, Rowe was named the CCAA Coach of the Year after elevating Humber badminton to record heights. After being just the 14th coach in Humber Athletics history to garner the award, Rowe and the Hawks captured five OCAA provincial titles despite having nine new players on the roster. Coach Rowe's ability to recruit top talent in the country did not go unnoticed, as all four disciplines medalled at nationals in New Brunswick, bringing her all-time CCAA medal count to nine in four seasons. Rachel Chan became Humber's first national champion in the women's singles discipline since 2017, while Tim Lock became the first men's singles player to ever win back-to-back national titles. 

Rowe is one of the most decorated student-athletes in Humber's history, competing for the badminton team from 2016-20. During her four-year career, the Newmarket native captured four OCAA and four CCAA titles, becoming the only female athlete in Humber's history to win four national titles. She also reached the top of the national rankings in women's doubles.

Besides her tremendous accomplishments on the court, Rowe has been just as successful in coaching. She's spent over five years coaching high-performance and non-competition levels at K.C. Badminton Club – one of the biggest clubs in the country. She was then promoted to the manager of non-competition in 2020.

During the 2021-22 season, Rowe participated in the Female Apprentice Coach Program (FACP), a program designed to identify and support female graduating student-athletes who demonstrate the desire and skills for coaching by providing them opportunities in the coaching experience in CCAA sports. Rowe spent the season with the Centennial Colts.
