Zach Edey Parents and Inside His Family Life

Zach Edey mom Julia is a retired mechanical engineer. Julia has been actively involved in gardening and beekeeping after her retirement. 

Julia Edey height was 5 foot 9 inches when she was in the ninth grade. 

High school coaches spotted the latent potential in her basketball skills. Julia was 17 years old when she tried out in front of Canada's junior national team coaches, competing against athletes from around the country.

Moreover, according to WishTV, Julia was born in Toronto and was one of five children raised in a working-class family that took pleasure in their family-run local Chinese takeout restaurant and high marks in school.

Julia began helping her father and grandpa around the restaurant on weekends when she was 12 years old, and if there were no problems at school, there was also time for basketball.

But, she was in a quandary since she couldn't afford a trip to Halifax and wasn't sure how her parents would react if she didn't help out at the restaurant for a month.

After that, Julia eventually let the athletic flame go out and sought a profession as a mechanical engineer.

Zach Edey dad Glen Edey works as an assistant baseball youth league coach. 

Similarly, Glen has been assisting his wife since she retired from engineering; she now works as a beekeeper.

Her interest in beekeeping began when one of her son's teachers at Rolph Road School informed her about her outdoor work.

However, at that time, Edey was too preoccupied with gardening at her Leaside home and her family's Collingwood property.

Glen Edey is around 5 feet and 10 inches tall, shorter than Julia. Zach, who is seven and four, looks down on them as his inspiration.

While she considered launching a nursery, her reading and research on the subject kept leading her back to the necessity for bees to keep a garden flourishing and the importance of bees to the entire ecosystem.

Edey bought a "nuc" of roughly 5,000 bees in her first year of beekeeping in Collingwood in 2018. That year, she concentrated on practicing and learning the skills required to maintain and expand her apiary.

Zach Edey younger brother Doug Edey is a student at Leaside High School. Doug is a ninth grader who enjoys sports and was a former lifeguarding bronze medallion. 

His LinkedIn page highlights his high school career as an AA hockey and baseball player. Doug is also involved in other sports, although not at a high level.

Furthermore, the younger Edey is a multi-talented student who excels in math, theater, physics, and history and is currently studying French.

Doug volunteered as a fundraiser and assisted individuals in need via the Food Bank for over four years.

Zach spent his childhood in Toronto playing hockey and baseball. Edey began his basketball career with the Northern Kings Amateur Athletic Union program.

Generally, Zach was a quick learner who began skating at six. Edey became exceptionally tall in primary school, standing between 5 feet 7 and 5 feet 9.

The then-hockey player was best friends with every goaltender he had ever played at the rink. He was a defensive player who was thought to be a protective child, per CBC Sports. 

Zach excelled not just in hockey but also baseball.

Edey moved up to play with the bigger kids to protect the opposing youngsters his age. He was firing fastballs with fine control as a pitcher and launching balls into outer space in the batter's box was his thing. 

Edey fell in love with baseball while working as an assistant minor league baseball coach alongside his father.

In the stands, when his mum shared high-fives with her teammates' mothers, she met with one question from a slew of onlookers saying, 'Why isn't he playing basketball?'

And that's how his journey as an NCAA Division I basketball player began.
