Dr. Garner is currently responsible for emergency care, treatment and rehabilitation of the Region 2 (Golden Horseshoe - Niagara) OSA youth soccer program. When required, Dr. Garner also provides on-site athletic care for OSA sanctioned tournaments, coaching clinics and player development camps.

Along with the Ontario Soccer Association, Dr. Garner is also involved with the Niagara X-MEN, providing on-field injury assessment, treatment and rehabilitation while also serving as Wide Receiver and Defensive Back coach.
Dr. Garner's own experience with sports injuries inspired him to seek a career that gave him the opportunity to educate young athletes on injury prevention, proper treatment and rehabilitation. Playing several sports throughout his youth, Dr. Garner realized there was little information available to young athletes on injury rehabilitation and prevention.
Throughout his athletic career, Dr. Garner played baseball, basketball, volleyball and track & field, but his passion was football. He played 5 years for Port Colborne High School, earning 2 MVPs and team captain status. He then played two seasons with the Niagara Colts football organization, the predecessor to the Niagara X-MEN.
Dr. Garner also played defensive back for the McMaster Marauders football team while attending McMaster University. Presently, he remains active with coaching and recreational sports.
