The 2025 recipient of our John F. Barnes Award is Tim Kane '80, a tremendous supporter of the Crusaders' soccer program.

The Barnes Award, named for the dedicated 42-year coach and faculty member, recognizes CHS community members for outstanding contributions to Canisius High School athletics.

Kane will be honored Saturday, Nov. 8 at our Alumni Awards induction ceremony. See canisiushigh.org/alumniawards for more information.

Our Alumni Service Award will be showcased in the coming days. Our Distinguished Alumni Hall of Honor and CHS Athletic Hall of Fame were presented last week.

Tim Kane '80 – Soccer

Tim was a member of the inaugural CHS soccer team – which was founded by his father, Dr. Leo Kane ’50 – and was a two-time All-Catholic selection and a first-team All-State pick as a senior. He earned league MVP honors as he captained the 1979 team to an undefeated league season and Monsignor Martin title in just the program’s second year.

Since his time on the pitch, Tim has been an avid supporter of the soccer program, helping to fund capital expenses including new turf. With his support, the program has grown from a single team of 20 players to a program with four teams and 70 athletes.

Kane also started the Leo A. Kane, MD ’50 scholarship in his father’s honor to support current students.

Tim and his father are the first father-son duo to receive the Barnes Award.

Tickets and sponsorships for the Nov. 18 Alumni Awards are available via canisiushigh.org/alumniawards
