Join us for a coffee and chat with Katherine Plouffe, Canadian Olympic Women's Basketball Player!

Katherine Plouffe grew up in the Mill Woods neighborhood of Edmonton as the youngest of five children. During her youth, she was a multi-sport athlete who played both basketball and volleyball alongside her twin sister. After high school, Katherine was recruited to play college basketball in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, while her sister moved to Salt Lake City, Utah, to play for a different university. Katherine earned a starting position during her freshman year and eventually graduated with a degree in Communications and a minor in Psychology.

Currently, Katherine competes on the National Team in the 3x3 league. She teamed up with her sister Michelle and teammate Paige Crozon to form Team Canada’s 3x3 squad after the format was introduced at the 2020 Olympics. Within their first year, they reached a top-three world ranking and now compete globally on the World Tour from May through September.

In addition to her athletic success, Katherine is dedicated to community impact through the Plouffe Hoops Camp, which has served youth in Edmonton for ten years. She also supports the Adeara Recovery Centre and remains a vocal advocate for the growth of women’s basketball worldwide. Her career has taken her to extraordinary locations, from international malls to palaces, and she continues to share her story of pushing through adversity to inspire the next generation.
