Fourth-year lock Ryan Kruyne was named the OUA’s Most Valuable Player after notching a monstrous 99 points in eight games this season. He was a testament to the Gaels’ depth, as he scored three tries, but added 30 conversions and eight penalty goals. With last year’s captain Alistair Clark absent for much of the season playing with the Ontario Blues, Kruyne adopted the captain’s role as well as playing in three different positions over the course of the season.
