Bio

The man behind the scenes of Humber College athletics for four decades, Jim Bialek left Windsor in 1979 to attend Humber College, joining the athletics staff as a student. He eventually rose to the position of Manager Athletics/Sports Information Director; however, his job title doesn't begin to reflect on the wide-ranging effects he had on Humber's athletic program.

Jim expanded his responsibilities into the digital age, adding the humberhawks.ca website, multiple social media channels and the ever-growing Hawks Sports Network video operations. The network was responsible for the introduction of video opportunities to scores of Hawks fans, and now boasts the largest live stream playlist in the CCAA.

For over three decades he served the OCAA in numerous roles, including sitting on the OCAA Executive for ten years (2009-19) and becoming the first non-athletic director to be named OCAA President in 2013. 

Jim witnessed Humber student-athletes win 139 CCAA medals, with a nation-wide best 52 national gold medals. He has been at Humber for 551 of its provincial best total of 590 OCAA medals. These are the most celebrated by any OCAA staff person in history.

In 2019, Jim was inducted into the OCAA Hall of Fame in the builder category.
