Denmark’s Klit Kristoffersen Commits to Algoma Thunderbird Men’s Basketball Program for Fall of 2025 -

The Algoma University Thunderbirds welcomed Oliver Klit Kristoffersen on Friday, April 18th to the men’s basketball program ahead of the upcoming season.

Originally from Næstved, Denmark, Oliver brings a wealth of international experience and leadership to the Thunderbirds’ backcourt. A point guard with a high basketball IQ, Oliver has been playing the sport for over 11 years, honing his skills with notable clubs such as Olds College Broncos (Canada), Team Fog Næstved, Næstved Basketball, and Ajax København in Denmark.

Competing at a high level is nothing new for Oliver, who has played in Basketligaen, Denmark’s top professional basketball league, and in all youth championships across the country. During his time with the Olds College Broncos, he made an immediate impact and was recognized as the Rookie of the Year—a testament to his talent, drive, and adaptability.

Beyond his on-court abilities, Oliver is known for his strong character and team-first mentality. “I like to build a strong culture with my teammates both on and off the court,” he shared. “I hope to contribute and help create a winning culture at Algoma. I also like to volunteer and be engaged in the community.”

Off the court, Oliver will be pursuing a Bachelor of Business Administration (Honours) at Algoma University. He chose Algoma because of the genuine conversations he had with the coaching staff, adding, “I really believe that it’s a great place for developing myself on the court as well as off it.”

When he’s not on the basketball court, Oliver enjoys soccer and golf, rounding out a well-balanced lifestyle grounded in athleticism and community involvement.

With his international experience, leadership qualities, and drive to grow, Oliver is ready to make a big impact at Algoma—both in the classroom and on the court.
