Alex McKechnie is Vancouver’s lone connection to the Toronto Raptors, the first-ever team from Canada to be crowned NBA champions. The team’s Director of Sports Science, McKechnie played a key role looking after the health of Kawhi Leonard during his lone season in Toronto.

Born in Scotland, McKechnie began his career as Simon Fraser University’s head physiotherapist in 1974. He also worked with the Vancouver Canucks, Vancouver Whitecaps, Canadian men’s national soccer team, and was credited with reviving Shaquille O’Neal’s career in the late 1990s.

McKechnie spent eight years working for the Los Angeles Lakers before being hired by the Raptors in 2011. He was inducted into the BC Sports Hall of Fame in 2018.
