Allen brings provincial championship experience to Axemen

Linebacker Gil Allen has committed to the Acadia Axemen football program for the upcoming season.

Allen, a Sackville, N.B., native, brings leadership and championship experience to the Axemen. The 6’1, 195-pound linebacker captained Tantramar Regional High School to the 2024 provincial championship and served as team captain in both the 2023-24 and 2024-25 seasons.

In addition to his high school success, Allen was a captain for New Brunswick’s U18 provincial team, further demonstrating his ability to lead on and off the field.

“The program welcomed me the first time I visited Acadia,” said Allen. “I knew Acadia was where I wanted to continue my football career from my first visit. Coach Cummins and the team have established a team culture I can’t wait to be a part of.”

Allen will study business at Acadia while continuing his football career with the Axemen.
