Sheridan Bruins guard Nick Campbell was named player of the year. “Nick has been a dominate force for the Bruins over the four years he has played there,” said CCAA men’s basketball convenor Jonathan Lambert. “He is now considered by Sheridan as one of the all-time starting five for that program.” Campbell was a member of the Bruins when they captured CCAA silver medals in 2017 and 2019 and closed out his career as the Bruins all-time leading scorer. He finished second in the OCAA in scoring with 24.6 ppg, while notching 124 rebounds (6.2 rpg), 48 assists and 41 steals. Campbell led the Bruins to a 13-7 record and tie for fourth place in the OCAA West Division and was named the league’s west division player of the year. “After averaging almost 25 points per game and leading the team in charges against this season, he is known by his teammates and coaching staff as a player who sacrifices himself for the betterment of his team,” said Lambert. The other nominees for the award were Courtney Anderson of the Douglas Royals (PacWest); Brock Dewsbery of the Lethbridge Kodiaks (ACAC); Sébastien Lamaute of the Dynamiques de Brébeuf (RSEQ); and Jordan Holness of the Holland Hurricanes (ACAA).
Douglas Royals coach Joe Enevoldson was named coach of the year. Enevoldson led the Royals to a 17-1 PACWEST regular season title and their postseason crown in three years. “Joe is the consummate professional and asset to the Athletics and Douglas College community,” said Douglas athletic director Brian McLennon. “He is involved in various College and Athletics initiatives that contribute the student-athletes’ experience and well-being.” Enevoldson is the Manager of Boys High Performance and a Technical Director at Basketball BC, where he also works with the U17 provincial team. “Enevoldson has seen much success since being named head coach at Douglas College,” said CCAA men’s basketball convenor Jonathan Lambert. “He has used a well-developed mixture of domestic and international talent to become one of the premier programs in the CCAA.” Other nominees for the award were Ryan Heggie of the Lethbridge Kodiaks (ACAC); Jamie Girolametto of the Redeemer Royals (OCAA); Michael Chmielewski of the Dynamiques de Brébeuf (RSEQ); and Steve Chapman of the Mount Allison Mounties (ACAA).
