Huyen Le
Program: Sport and Event Marketing 

In the 2019-20 season, Le displayed one of, if not the most dominant seasons in CCAA history in any sport. She brought home George Brown's first Badminton CCAA National banner after winning the gold medal in Women's Singles and completed a perfect 35-0 campaign. She collected numerous individual awards along the way, such as the OCAA Women's Badminton Player of the Year, CCAA All-Canadian, and East Regional All-Star. At Provincials, Le won gold in Women's Singles and helped the Huskies women's team win their third straight OCAA title.

At the 2020 Virtual Athletic Banquet, the Huskies Athletic & Recreation department awarded Le with the Female Athlete of the Year and Female Rookie of the Year awards. 

Yuge (Ace) Zeng
Program: Honours Bachelor of Commerce - Culinary Management 

Zeng was brought on to the Huskies program in 2017 and has been one of the top players in the Men's Singles scene. In his first season in 2017-18, he went undefeated in all six tournaments, won the gold medal at the OCAA Provincial Championships, led the men's team to an OCAA  Team Championship, and was named OCAA Men's Badminton Player of the Year. He followed it up at the CCAA National Championships by claiming the silver medal and being named a CCAA All-Canadian. Zeng was also awarded the Huskies Male Athlete of the Year and Male Rookie of the Year.

The following season, he earned the Provincial silver medal and helped the men's team claim their second straight OCAA Team Championship. He went on to finish fourth at the CCAA National Championships. If not for the pandemic, Zeng looked to be primed for another great season in 2019-20. He started the campaign by winning gold in Mix Doubles and silver in Men's Singles at the Fanshawe Invitational. Unfortunately, due to border restrictions in China at the beginning of the pandemic, Zeng could not travel back to Canada after the winter holidays.

Fiona Kwan
Program: Honours Bachelor of Early Childhood Leadership 

Kwan joined the program ahead of the 2019-20 season and found success in the Women's Doubles category with partner Diana Bosco. The team earned the bronze medal at the East Regional Championships in 2020, which allowed them to qualify for the OCAA Provincial Championships. The pair was not able to get out of the round-robin stage at Provincials, but their efforts did help the women's team take home their third straight OCAA title. She has continued to put in the work off the court, so much so she was awarded the Huskies Fitness Junkie of the Week in November of 2020.

Additionally, the Toronto, Ont., native has achieved success in school, having been named a 2019-2020 OCAA All-Academic. She also made honour roll in both semesters this past school year.

Men's Baseball

Brandon Nieva
Program: Project Management 

Since being recruited to the Huskies in 2018, Nieva has become an unstoppable force on third base -- the hot corner. He was solid in his rookie season, batting .295 while amassing 13 hits and seven runs batted in (RBIs) in 14 games. In the following season, he truly excelled, improving in every offensive category and becoming one of the best hitters in the OCAA. His .364 batting average, 20 hits, three home runs, 15 RBIs, 34 total bases, and .618 slugging percentage all ranked in the Top 10 provincially.

The Vaughan, Ont., native was also chosen to participate in Toured Europe with The North Baseball Club in 2019. The team traveled to various locations in Europe to play in local tournaments, such as Germany, Austria, and the Czech Republic.

David De Cassan
Program: Video Design and Production 

The starting pitcher has been a part of the Huskies team since 2017, and from the get-go has been placed in every situation. The Nobleton, Ont., native's best season came in 2019 when he etched his name in the OCAA record books by breaking the league record for innings pitched in a season with 44, surpassing the previous top mark of 41 by Ilija Bozinovski (Durham College) from 2014. 

De Cassan has made a total of 24 appearances, including 11 starts and has thrown 96.2 innings while posting a 5.60 ERA and 41 strikeouts. He will be relied upon again to be the focal point of the Huskies pitching staff this season. The pitcher has also been a positive contributor behind the scenes for the Huskies Athletics and Recreation Department and earned the Contribution to Athletics presented by Vital CPR award in 2020 for his efforts.

Aiden Colangelo
Program: Business Administration

Colangelo was a great addition to the team when he was recruited in 2019 as a transfer athlete from Niagara County Community College of the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA). He is a versatile player that primarily saw action at first base, as well as a pitcher. In 16 games, he recorded 12 hits, six walks and nine RBIs, while posting a .286 batting average in 42 plate appearances. On the pitching side of things, the Vaughan, Ont., native posted seven strikeouts, six walks, 12 hits in eight and a third innings of work.

Program: Honours Bachelor of Technology in Construction Management 

Hamid earned a spot from the open tryouts in the summer of 2019 as a depth piece who could play every position in the infield and outfield. Throughout his first two years the Scarborough, Ont., native has excelled in the classroom, being named a 2019-2020 OCAA All-Academic and also being named to the George Brown College Honour Roll the last two semesters.

Men's Basketball

Caldré Campbell
Program: Child and Youth Care 

Campbell transferred from Canadore College of the OCAA to join the Huskies in 2019. From day one, the point guard played his role beautifully, coming off the bench and running the offence. He averaged 5.5 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 2.6 steals per game over 20 regular season games. The Toronto, Ont., native's biggest impact came when the lights were the brightest: he posted a game-high 18 points, 11 of which came in the fourth quarter, in the Huskies semi-final victory over Redeemer College to book a ticket to the OCAA Provincial Championship gold medal game. Campbell followed it up in that championship game by chipping in 12 points off the bench to help the program claim their first OCAA banner in 44 years.

Campbell has found the same success off the court, being named to the Honour Roll the last two semesters.

Robert Ocampo
Program: Advanced Business

Ocampo was brought into the Huskies program ahead of the  2018-19 season. He then took a massive step in his second season for the team, improving in every statistical category. The shooting guard started 15 of the 18 games during the 2019-20 season and posted a career-high 11.5 points, 1.7 steals, and 2.6 rebounds while shooting 44.5% from the field and 40.6% from behind the arc. When the shooting guard gets hot from deep, it is very hard for opposing defences to stop. Ocampo dropped a career-high 20 points off of five three-pointers in just 15 minutes against Durham College.

The Manila, Philippines., native graduated from the Business program this past semester and is returning for the Business Administration Advanced Diploma come September.

Matthew Bukovec
Program: Special Events Management

If you recognize Bukovec's name, you are not alone. The forward played two seasons for the Huskies between 2016 and 2018. During that time he made quite the difference as he averaged 12.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 1.1 steals per game. The veteran rejoined the basketball program ahead of the 2020-21 season but did not play a game due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In the meantime, he has graduated from the Special Event Management program, while achieving Honour Roll status this past semester. He is returning in September to continue his education in the field.

Derrick Taylor
Program: Business

Taylor was brought on to the team in 2019 and has been a perfect example of a rookie putting in the work and earning the coach's trust. Despite not starting the first 11 games to open the 2019-2020 season, he went on to start 11 of the last 12 contests. The power forward displayed his potential throughout the season, especially at the 42nd Annual Huskies Men's Basketball Tournament in January of 2020. He was a huge piece in the Huskies winning the tournament for a second straight year, as he accumulated 54 points, 18 rebounds and eight steals over three games, which was good enough to earn MVP honours. Throughout the season, he brought energy and dominated down low. In his first season in the OCAA, the Toronto, Ont., native averaged 5.5 points and 3.4 rebounds, while shooting 67.6% from the field.  Taylor graduated from the Construction Trade Techniques program this year and will be enrolled in the Business program come September.

Willem De Heer
Program: Honours Bachelor of Commerce - Financial Services

De Heer was part of Dawkins' first recruitment class in the summer of 2019 from Orangeville Prep Athlete Institute. The 6'2 guard is known for his shooting abilities and work ethic on both sides of the floor. He was a depth piece for the Huskies squad during the 2019-20 season and certainly displayed his potential. In a contest against Durham College, the Vevey, Switzerland, native drilled four three-pointers for a career-high 12 points in just 10 minutes. The sharpshooter adds another offensive  threat whenever he steps on the court.

Russel Kalyango
Program: Mechanical Engineering Technology

Kalyango was a late addition to the Huskies team in January of 2020 after being called up from the Extramural Men's Basketball Team. His work ethic on the court, in the gym, as well as in the classroom is top-notch. The 6'6 forward contains the length and athleticism that can help the Huskies interior offense and defence in their OCAA title defense.

Jhamar O'Brian
Program: Video Design and Production

O'Brian was brought into the Huskies program in the summer of 2020. He was poised to make his debut in what would have been the 2020-21 season. The guard does have familiarity with Coach Dawkins, having played for the head coach in high school at Bloor Collegiate Institute. The Toronto, Ont., native comes in being familiar with the system on both sides of the ball. 

Carolina Rebolledo
Program: Business – Human Resources

Rebolledo was poised to make her highly anticipated Huskies debut in what would have been the 2020-21 season. Her basketball resume is lengthy and impressive, to say the least. She has played at the collegiate level in two different countries, having played for the Popular Autonomous University of the State of Puebla in Mexico and Snow College of the NJCAA in the United States. The 6'4 centre has also represented her home country of Mexico on the international stage on a few occasions, including being a member of the team that won the FIBA Central American Basketball Confederation (COCABA) championship in 2013.

Her size, awareness, rebounding abilities, and defensive instincts will complement the outstanding defence the Huskies already have.

Desiree Lister
Program: Community Worker

Lister would have been a new addition to the roster for the 2020-21 season. The forward has experience in the CCAA, having played for Kwantlen Polytechnic University of the PacWest during the 2015-16 season. She was impressive that campaign, averaging 8.6 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 1.1 steals per game while shooting 43.8% from of the floor. She ranked in the Top Six of the PacWest in every rebounding category. Her physical play, rebounding abilities, and relentless energy will be a perfect addition to the squad, notably after the recent graduation of Coco Sauve and OCAA All-Star Victoria Lawrence. Additionally, Lister has dominated in the classroom, being named to the Honour Roll in both 2020-21 academic semesters.

Samuelle Hakh
Program: Social Service Worker

Hakh was brought on to the team ahead of the 2019-20 season. The guard is known for her shooting abilities and is not afraid to pull the trigger from anywhere on the floor.

Vanessa Vassell
Program: Business Administration

Vassell joined the team in the latter half of the 2019-2020 season. Her hard work and persistence in practice were noticed right away by the coaching staff.

Thorin Pangan
Program: Bachelor of Science in Nursing

Pangan was a part of interim head coach Omari Wiltshire's first recruiting class ahead of the 2020-21 season. She is a combo guard that dominated at the high school level.

The guard played varsity basketball at l'École Maurice-Lavallée as well as Harry Ainlay high school in Edmonton, Alberta.

Steve Knezevic
Program: Honours Bachelor of Technology - Construction Management

Knezevic earned a spot out of the open tryout ahead of the 2019-20 season and put together an extraordinary campaign. The midfielder was tremendous in every facet of the game, both offensively and defensively. He played in six outdoor matches, while recording a goal. Knezevic went on to play a pivotal role during the following indoor season that he was named team MVP.

The Toronto, Ont., native also put in tremendous work in the classroom. He was named a 2019-2020 OCAA All-Academic and earned the 2020 Huskies Athletic Academic Achievement award for his contributions to his team while maintaining a 4.0 GPA.

Ameer Kinani
Program: General Arts & Science

Kinani was recruited by the Huskies ahead of the 2019-20 season.

This past year, the Toronto, Ont., native has played for Cartagena FC Division III in Spain while continuing to pursue his General Arts & Science diploma. The Huskies are getting a lethal offensive weapon back in Kinani.

Tiago De Jesus
Program: Construction Engineering Technology

De Jesus joined the team going into the 2019-20 season and it did not take long for the defender to make an impact on the backline. He played in seven of the eight matches during the outdoor season, while starting in three of them. His efforts defensively helped the team only surrender more than two goals in just six of the seven regular season matches in which he dressed. It was similar in the indoor season. He was responsible for bringing a defensive minded approach to the team and was instrumental in the Huskies going 26-2-2 while outscoring their opponents 111 to 26. His work ethic was on full display in the classroom this past academic year as well, where he achieved Honours status in the Fall semester.

Anas El-Bogi
Program: Honours Bachelor of Technology - Construction Management

So far, he has played in 16 outdoor matches, while recording one goal during that time. He was a member of the indoor team that claimed the OCAA Championship in 2019. In 2020, he assisted in the squad going 26-2-2 during the season and earning a spot in the semi-finals of the OCAA Championship before it was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a third-year veteran, the maturity he brings to the team will only help the new group of student-athletes coming in adjust seamlessly.

Jacob 'Kwame' Yankey
Program: Construction Engineering Technology


Yankey was a perfect role-player addition to the Huskies soccer program since earning a spot at the open tryout in 2016. His teams have qualified for the OCAA playoffs in three of the four seasons, while claiming the bronze medal in 2016. Yankey has also been a part of many championship teams during the indoor seasons. The Huskies claimed the OCAA championship in 2017 and 2019, while finishing second in 2018. In 2020, the team was primed to claim a third title in four years when they made the semi-finals of the OCAA Championship before it was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. An Honours student in Winter 2021, Yankey's years of experience will be extremely valuable for this squad this upcoming season.

Felix Ofori
Program: Mechanical Engineering Technology – Design

Ofori joined the team in the Fall of 2019. As a rookie, he quickly earned the starting goalkeeper spot for the outdoor season. He started six of the eight outdoor matches, while posting a 4-2 record.

Mashhood Rehman
Program: Honours Bachelor of Technology - Construction Management 

Rehman earned a spot out of the open tryout ahead of the 2019-20 season. He brought high energy and a top-notch work ethic to the program. The Scarborough, Ont., native assisted in the Huskies winning three invitationals and earning a semi-final berth at the OCAA Provincial Championship during the indoor season.

Max Jordan
Program: Business Marketing

Jordan came to the program in early 2020 ahead of the indoor soccer season. He assisted in the Huskies winning three invitationals and earning a semi-final berth at the OCAA Provincial Championship. The defender is a reliable player on the field with a great work ethic. The Etobicoke, Ont., native is very responsible, coachable, and is in a good place to make an impact in the defensive core down the road.

Javae Hall
Program: Construction Techniques

Hall was set to join the program for the 2020-21 season. The midfielder most recently played for ProStars FC of League1 Ontario on the reserve team.

Husyni was set to join the program ahead of the 2020-21 campaign. The midfielder recently played for Vaughan Azzurri of League1 Ontario. He brings significant tenacity and is great on the ball. His decision-making abilities and vision are top-notch, but is also capable of finding the back of the net with the best of them. 

Women's Soccer

Brianna Samuels-McLaughlin
Program: Child & Youth Care

When you think of a player that can be a game-changer in any position on the pitch, Samuels-McLaughlin's name comes to mind. Since being recruited in 2018 she has been a difference-maker, having led the outdoor team in scoring for the past two seasons despite playing multiple positions. In just two seasons, the Scarborough, Ont., native has recorded 11 goals in 18 matches. She has also been a multiple award recipient along the way, including 2018-19 Huskies Female Rookie of the Year and being named an OCAA All-Star in back-to-back seasons.

The success on the pitch has transferred to the classroom as well, where Samuels-McLaughlin was named to the Honour Roll in both semesters this past academic year.

Kristina Anderson
Program: Pre-Health

Anderson did not look out of place in her rookie campaign after being recruited by the Huskies ahead of the 2019-20 season. Throughout the 2019-2020 season, she displayed great potential at the midfield position with her vision, speed, and scoring touch. The Brampton, Ont., native quickly earned the trust of the coaching staff, starting six of eight outdoor matches. In that span, she ranked third on the team with three goals in addition to being a defensive stopper. Her impressive season did not go unnoticed, as the OCAA rewarded her as an East Division Second Team All-Star. She was also named Team MVP for her stellar play during the indoor season. and was nominated for the 2019-2020 Huskies Female Rookie of the Year award. After taking the 2020-2021 academic year off due to the COVID-19 pandemic, she is eager to return this coming Fall. 

Jaelyn Wright
Program: Child and Youth Care


After being recruited to the program in 2019, Wright became a dominant force in the backend of the pitch. The defender, who stands at 5'10, always found a way to disrupt opposing offences. The Toronto, Ont., native started seven of nine outdoor matches the Huskies played in 2019. Unfortunately, due to injury, she was unable to participate in the indoor season.

Graduating from the Social Service diploma program this April while achieving Honour Roll status in both semesters, the Huskies are looking forward to Wright's return to both the field and classroom where she will continue her studies this Fall in the Child & Youth Care advanced diploma program.

Mikyler Yakutchik
Program: Business Administration - International Business

Yakutchik was brought on to the team in 2018 and helped solidify the team's back end. The Brampton, Ont., native has played in 18 outdoor matches over the past two seasons, where she has assisted in making the Huskies one of the best defensive teams in the OCAA. During the 2020 indoor season, few teams could score more than two goals against the Huskies and Yakutchik played a large role in that.

She has continued to put in the work in the classroom being named to the Honour Roll in the last two semesters.

Makayla Cabral
Program: Fashion Business Industry

Cabral was recruited to the program ahead of the 2019-20 season. The rookie added another goal-scoring punch to a team that needed it in both the indoor and outdoor seasons. The rookie posted five goals in eight outdoor matches during the 2019 season, which ranked second on the team. There are many reasons to be optimistic about what the future holds for Cabral, in addition to her achieving Honour Roll status in this past winter semester.

Danielle Montecinos
Program: Early Childhood Education

Montecinos was brought on to the Huskies program in 2019 and it did not take long for her to be a regular starter. The Toronto, Ont., native was placed in the starting lineup in the second match of the season against Durham College. She went on to play in all nine outdoor matches while starting in six of them. She played both at midfield and defence throughout the outdoor and indoor seasons, contributing significantly to arguably one of the best defensive teams in Ontario.  

Elisabeth Virelli
Program: Business Marketing

Virelli was highly recruited by the Huskies program ahead of 2019-20. The forward's speed, agility, and play-making abilities allowed her to have a consistent role throughout the season and kept opponents consistently on their heels. The Toronto, Ont., native went on to start in five of the team's nine outdoor matches, while recording a goal during that span. 

Angela Diaz Romero
Program: Architecture Technology

Diaz Romero joined the program in 2019 and has done anything to help the team excel. She is a versatile player that can be placed at the midfield and forward. She played in eight of nine outdoor matches for the Huskies in 2019, and was used very similarly in the indoor season. Her commitment and drive to improve are second to none as she was awarded the Huskies Fitness Junkie of the Week in November of 2020.

The work ethic she has displayed throughout her time at George Brown College is no different in the classroom, where she has been named to the Honour Roll in every academic semester she has completed so far in her program.

Pamela Diaz
Program: Business Administration - Accounting

Diaz joined the Huskies program in 2018 and from that point has put in the work both on and off the pitch.

She has played in 16 outdoor matches in two seasons, while also competing in a number of indoor contests as well. She was part of the club that qualified for the 2020 Provincial Indoor Soccer Championship.

She has found similar success in the classroom as well, being named a 2018-2019 OCAA All-Academic and achieving Honour Roll status this past semester.

Sam Delgado
Program: Honours Bachelor of Business Administration

Delgado made the team as a walk on back in 2019. He went on to play in 17 matches for the Huskies and was a swiss-army knife for the squad. The Caracas, Venezuela, native was solid in every facet of the game and offered a boost when needed. The outside hitter averaged 1.7 kills and 1.16 digs per set during the 2019-2020 season. He has worked extremely hard both on and off the court and was awarded the Michael 'Pinball' Clemons Athletics & Recreation Award in 2020 for his efforts.

Nathanael Masson
Program: Honours Bachelor of Technology - Construction Management

Masson joined the Huskies in 2017 as an outside hitter. The Ajax, Ont., native has been a perfect depth player that can be placed in any situation and make an impact. He has appeared in 44 career matches, while posting 0.4 points and 0.60 digs per set. His leadership and experience are a welcome addition back to the program, and decided to take the 2020-21 academic year off due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Avery Titus
Program: Culinary Management

Titus joined the Huskies roster in the 2018-19 season. The middle blocker, who stands at 6'4, has helped disrupt opposing offences with his height and defensive instincts, while also acting as an offensive weapon off the bench. The Scarborough, Ont., native has played in 30 career matches, while posting 1.4 points and 1.02 kills per set.

Raul Galvao 
Program: Food & Beverage Management

Galvao was initially recruited for what would have been the 2020-21 season. He has a significant amount of experience in the sport, including playing most of his OVA career with the Markham Stingers. The libero was a part of the team that won the 2016 National Championship and two OVA Championships. In his high school career, he helped his team reach the Regional finals four times, while winning two of them. His experience and defensive mindset will be a perfect addition to the squad.

The Women's Volleyball program has been heading in the right direction over the last two seasons. In 2018-19, they finished with an 8-10 record and placed 5th in the East Division, which qualified them for the program's first crossover playoff match since the program was inaugurated in 2006-07. The very next season, they took another massive step as they posted a program-best 11-7 record and placed fourth in the East Division. It marked the first time the program hosted a crossover playoff match.

Under fifth-year head coach, Daphne Choi, the team is in a perfect position to make even more noise down the road. Here are the student-athletes who have committed to returning in the fall.
