Blokker is a four time BC Conference Coach of the Year and was honoured as the CJFL Coach of the Year twice, he has posted the most career wins by a Head Coach in BC Conference history and his 106 regular season and 26 play-off wins places him second on the All-Time list for most victories by a Head Coach in CJFL history.

Matt began his junior football head coaching career with the Victoria Rebels in 2003 and guided them to a BC Championship title and the National Championship game in his first season.

Blokker coached two seasons in Victoria and then moved to Nanaimo where he became Head Coach of the expansion VI Raiders program in 2005.
 
Blokker's Raiders lost the BC Conference Semi-Final game in their inaugural season and then went on to post the most successful run in BC history with seven Conference Championship titles and three National Championship wins in a span of eight seasons (2006 to 2013).

Blokker signed on as Head Coach of the Calgary Colts in 2014, taking on the challenge of building the Colts, which went winless in 2013, back into a contender.
