HAMILTON, Ont. – Ontario University Athletics (OUA) is pleased to announce the 2013 football all-star team. The undefeated Western Mustangs lead the way with 10 first team all-stars.
 
 Western set a new OUA record for points this year, and it’s no surprise that six members of the high-powered Mustangs offence find themselves on the OUA first team. Quarterback Will Finch (Burlington, Ont.) set a new OUA record for both single season completion percentage (69.7%) and single season passing yards (3047) and is an OUA first team all-star for the first time in his young career. Finch tossed 21 touchdowns and ran for five more.
 
 Western O-linemen Matt Van Praet (London, Ont.) and Kadeem Adams (Halifax, N.S.) join Finch on the OUA first team, at centre and tackle, respectively. Inside receiver Brian Marshall (London, Ont.) makes his first appearance on the OUA top team after being named a second team all-star in 2012. The fourth-year had 34 catches for 753 yards and nine scores. He is joined by second-year wide receiver George Johnson. Johnson, a dual-sport athlete at Western, was Finch’s favourite target this season. In eight games played, he snagged 60 receptions and scored five touchdowns. Johnson’s 982 receiving yards led the league.
 
 Fifth-year Lirim Hajrullahu rewrote the OUA and CIS record books in his final season. The St. Catharines, Ont., native scored 130 points to set a new CIS all-time scoring record with 422 career points. Hajrullahu made 22 of 26 field goals attempted to tie the OUA single season field goal record. He also led the league with an average 40.8 yards per punt. Hajrullahu joins his teammates and is both kicker and punter on the OUA first team.
 
 Two members of the Queen’s Gaels intimidating O-Line are OUA first team all-stars. Fifth-year guard Derek Morris (Napanee, Ont.) was a starter on the Vanier Cup team and is a first team all-star for the second consecutive season. He is joined by offensive tackle Josh Prinsen (Napanee, Ont.).
 
 The rest of the first team offence is comprised of athletes from six different universities. Guelph Gryphon guard Cam Thorn (Midhurst, Ont.) was drafted by the B.C. Lions in the seventh round in 2012 and is a first team all-star for the first time in his career.
 
 York’s Errol Books (Toronto) finished third in the OUA in rushing yards with 701 and ran for four scores. The second-year back splits time with Ottawa veteran Brendan Gillanders on the OUA first team. Gillanders’ 1061 all purpose offensive yards was tops among CIS running backs. He scored five touchdowns (3 receiving, 2 rushing) and was a vital component to the Gee-Gees turnaround 2013 season.
 
 Windsor’s Evan Pszczonak (Amherstburg, Ont.) and Toronto’s Paul de Pass (Ajax, Ont.) round out the OUA first team offence. A fourth-year inside receiver, Pszczonak picked up the slack left from the absence of graduated senior Jordan Brescacin, and grabbed 42 receptions to average 92.3 yards per game. Blues team captain de Pass left his name in the storied U of T record books in his senior year. He finished 2013 with 970 yards on 53 catches, good for second and third in OUA, respectively. He ends his OUA career as Toronto’s all-time receiving yards leader.
 
Third-year Blues returner Kevin Bradfield is an OUA first team all-star. The Toronto, native returned 18 kickoffs for 412 yards, in addition to averaging 12.4 yards per punt return. He is joined on special teams by Andrew Graham (Union, Ont.) of the Guelph Gryphons. The rookie rush/cover had 19 special teams tackles as well as 2.5 sacks and one interception.
 
 It is no secret that the Gaels are known for their defence and therefore no surprise that five members of it are first team all-stars. Fourth-year defensive end Derek Wiggan (Toronto) had 23.5 tackles and makes his mark on the first team for the second consecutive season. Linebacker Sam Sabourin continued the tradition and earned his third all-star recognition. The Stittsville, Ont., native had 34.5 tackles, two sacks and two interceptions in his fourth-year. Cornerback duo Andrew Lue (Markham, Ont.) and Yann Dika-Balotoken (Toronto) and defensive half TJ Chase-Dunawa (Toronto) represent the Gaels pass defence. Lue, a regular on the OUA first team since 2011, had 23 tackles, two interceptions and three pass breakups. In his third-year of eligibility, Dika-Balotoken scored two touchdowns on interception returns to lead the CIS in the category. Chase-Dunawa had one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, two interceptions and one pass breakup to earn the second first team honour in his career.
 
 Often overshadowed by their offensive counterparts, members of the Western Mustangs defensive unit are no slouches and four of its members are first team all-stars. Defensive tackle Daryl Waud (Hamilton, Ont.) returns to the first team after recording 21 tackles and 2.5 sacks and joins defensive end Dylan Ainsworth (Delta, B.C.) on the first team. Linebackers Pawel Kruba (Windsor, Ont.) and Beau Landry (Kitchener, Ont.) wreaked havoc on opposing offences. They combined for 65 tackles.
 
 Marauder ball hawks Steven Ventresca (Hamilton, Ont.) and Michael Daly (Kitchener, Ont.) represent McMaster on the defensive first team. Ventresca finished fourth in league interceptions with four and added 26.5 tackles to replicate his previous year’s performance. Daly recorded 26.5 tackles and two interceptions at free safety.
 
 Gee-Gee defensive tackle Ettore Lattanzio rounds out the OUA first team defence .The Ottawa native led the OUA and tied for the CIS lead with 10 quarterback sacks.
 
 In addition to six offensive first team all-stars, the Mustangs add two more on the second team. Fourth-year guard Joe Circelli (London, Ont.) and first-year tackle Eddie Meredith (Toronto) complete Western’s talented offensive line.
 
 Ottawa quarterback Aaron Colbon passed for 2490 yards averaging 311.1 yards per game to finish second in OUA. He tossed 20 touchdowns en route to the first all-star recognition of his impressive career in garnet and grey. He is joined on the OUA second team by fifth-year centre Shavin Fernando (Ottawa) and fourth-year guard Taylor Servais (Ottawa).
 
 Gaels running back Ryan Granberg (Sherwood, Alta.) finished fourth in OUA rushing with 621 yards and ran in five touchdowns to earn a place on the second team roster. He is joined by fourth-year wide receiver Giovanni Aprile (Scarborough, Ont.), who led Queen’s with 466 receiving yards.
 
 Offensive tackle Jakob Piotrowski (Shanty Bay, Ont.) returned from injury in 2013 to represent the Gryphons on the OUA second team. He is joined by sophomore returner A’dre Fraser. The Halifax, N.S., native led the team in kick return yards with a total of 205 yards and a long of 49, averaging 25.63 yards per carry. He also had 472 yards on punt returns.
 
 Wide receiver Nick Anapolsky (Guelph, Ont.) represents Waterloo on the second team list. The fourth-year athlete hauled in 74 passes to set a new CIS record for single season receptions.
 
 Rookie receiver Daniel Vandervoort (Barrie, Ont.) had 31 receptions for 594 yards. He scored eight touchdowns for the 5-3 McMaster Marauders and earns a spot on the second team offence. Place kicker Tyler Crapigna (Nepean, Ont.) hit 16 of 19 field goals attempted for an 84% success rate and second team all-star status.
 
 Golden Hawks running back Dillon Campbell (Whitby, Ont.) led the OUA in rushing yards and is a second team all-star. His 867 yards along the ground and five touchdowns were invaluable to the young Laurier offence. Special teams expert Thomas Majka (Mississauga, Ont.) joins Campbell on the second team in the cover position.
 
 Fourth-year inside receiver Alex Pierzchalski (London, Ont.) hauled in 51 catches and snagged six scores for the Varsity Blues en route to being named to the second team offence.
 
 Fifth-year punter Dan Cerino (Stoney Creek, Ont.) represents the Windsor Lancers on the second team. He posted 3052 punting yards with a long of 69 in his final OUA season.
 
 Turning to the defence, tackle Tai Pham (London, Ont.) and linebacker Akeem Whonder (Mississauga, Ont.) represent the Windsor Lancers. They are joined by Queen’s veterans John Miniaci (Toronto) at tackle and Justin Baronaitis (Rexdale, Ont.) at SAM linebacker. Laurier defensive backs Felix Odum (Pickering, Ont.) and Chris Ackie (Cambridge, Ont.) are also second team all-stars.
 
 The Gryphons standout defence is represented by third-year defensive end Cam Walker (London, Ont.) and fourth-year defensive half Taylor Palmer (Niagara Falls, Ont.).
 
 A pair of Mustangs are second team defensive all-stars as defensive end Ricky Osei-Kusi (Brampton, Ont.) and cornerback Simon Bahru (London, Ont.) earn the first all-star nods of their careers.
 
 McMaster’s Aram Eisho (Hamilton, Ont.) and Ottawa’s Matthew Bond-Lapointe (Montreal, Que.) complete the OUA second team all-star defensive roster.

To no one’s surprise, the Carleton Ravens are ahead of the pack and name five athletes to the inaugural all-rookie list. The Ravens returned to OUA competition in 2013 after a 15 year hiatus. Fielding a mainly first-year squad, the Ravens went 0-8 but their rookies played major minutes and earned valuable game experience.

Both the McMaster Marauders (5-3) and the Laurier Golden Hawks (1-7) boast three all-rookie athletes. Windsor, Western, Guelph, Queen’s and Waterloo name two athletes to the list, and Toronto, Ottawa and York are represented by a single athlete.

The all-rookie list is designed to identify exceptional freshmen and to give recognition for their outstanding performances. The 2013 OUA all-rookies were selected by the OUA coaches through a nomination and vote process.

The OUA rookie of the year will be announced on Thursday, Nov. 7 at the 2013 OUA Major Awards and Yates Cup press conference.

EDMONTON – After completing undefeated conference season, it is no surprise that the University of Calgary Dinos place 11 members on the 2013 Canada West football All-Star team, more than twice that of any other school.

Leading the way is Andrew Buckley, who tied with Manitoba pivot Jordan Yantz at the quarterback position. Kicker Johnny Mark makes his third straight appearance on the all-conference roster, this time as a unanimous selection. Mark, along with Chris Dobko, who makes his second consecutive All-Star roster, both made the CIS All-Canadian team in 2012. Another carryover for the Dinos from last year's honourees is centre Sean McEwen.

Following the Dinos were Manitoba at Regina, each with five players named to the All-Star team, with UBC placing four on the roster and Saskatchewan three. Alberta did not have any 2013 All-Stars.

Besides Mark, Regina's Tevaughn Campbell was the only other unanimous selection, at cornerback. Campbell also made the team as the top return specialist in Canada West.

Following are the 2013 Canada West football All-Stars by position, with program of study, year of eligibility and hometown (*unanimous selection, listed alphabetically by position):

ATLANTIC UNIVERSITY SPORT (AUS)

HALIFAX, N.S. - Atlantic University Sport is pleased to announce the 2013 football all-stars as selected by the conference's four head coaches following regular season play.

The 2011 and 2012 AUS champion Acadia Axemen (3-5, 0-1 playoffs) lead the list of all-conference selections announced today, claiming a total of 10 all-star positions despite a third-place finish this season.

Facing a 1-4 record at the beginning of October, the Mount Allison Mounties (4-4, 1-0 playoffs) fought their way back to a second-place finish with four consecutive wins, including a 19-10 victory over Acadia in the AUS semi-final. Mount Allison student-athletes account for eight players on this year’s all-star team.

Finishing the season in first place and hosting this weekend’s Subway AUS Loney Bowl championship final, Saint Mary’s (5-3) boasts five Huskies named to the all-star squad this season, while four members of the fourth-place StFX X-Men (3-5) earned the honour. 

Leading the list of Axemen named to the squad is fifth-year wide receiver Taylor Renaud of Winnipeg, Man. Named to the AUS all-star squad for the third consecutive year, Renaud led the conference in receiving this season with 44 receptions for 548 yards.

After earning AUS rookie of the year honours last year, second-year Acadia running back Thomas Troop (Alliston, Ont.) was named to this year’s all-star team. He was joined by fourth-year inside receiver Andrew Healy (Bedford, N.S.), fourth-year tackle James Young (Ottawa, Ont.) and second-year guard Chris Fanning (Ottawa, Ont.), all of the Axemen.

Also earning all-star honours for Acadia were defensive backs Cam Wade and Brett Backman. A fifth-year player from Moncton, N.B, this is the fourth consecutive year Wade has been named to the AUS all-star squad. This season, Wade recorded 20.5 tackles, two sacks, two interceptions and two fumble recoveries.

Backman, for his part, posted 31 tackles this season, 27 of which were solo tackles. He also had a league-leading four interceptions which returned for 150 total yards. 

Third-year defensive end Jesse St. James (Pincourt, Que.) and fourth-year defensive tackle Kirby Fletcher (Grimshaw, Alta.) joined the list of Axemen all-stars. St. James posted a league-leading 10 sacks this season.

Lastly for Acadia, third-year place kicker Ryan Begin (Orleans, Ont.) was named a special teams all-star. Begin collected 11 field goals on 14 attempts and a league-leading 16 points on 16 extra-point attempts. He scored 51 of the Axemen’s 165 total season points and the second most points of any other AUS player this year.

From the second-place Mount Allison Mounties, second-year quarterback Brandon Leyh (New Westminster, B.C.) and second-year running back Jordan Botel (Prince George, B.C.) were named to the AUS all-star team.

Over the course of the season, Leyh threw for a league-leading average of 171.3 yards per game.

Botel led the conference in rushing for the second year in a row. He finished with 758 total yards on 170 carries and scored six touchdowns. He was responsible for 36 of the Mounties’ 166 total season points and he boasted the second most all-purpose yards with 812.

Fourth-year inside receiver Troy Trentham (Brooks, Alta.) also earned offensive all-star honours for the Mounties.

Among Mount Allison’s defensive all-stars this season are third-year cornerback Donovan Saunders (Brampton, Ont.), third-year linebacker Te Nguyen (Oakville, Ont.) and third-year safety Kwame Adjei (Brampton, Ont.). Saunders was named both an all-star defensive back and an all-star kick returner in 2012.

Saunders and Nguyen had a league-leading four interceptions apiece this season, with Nguyen also recording two sacks, while Adjei posted 45 total tackles (30 solo and 30 assisted).

Third-year defensive tackle Jacob LeBlanc (Halifax, N.S.) was named to the all-star squad for the third consecutive year. LeBlanc was named AUS rookie of the year in his first year with the Mounties in 2011.

Rounding out the list of Mounties named to 2013 all-star team is second-year kick returner Michael Bohan (Sackville, N.B.). Bohan posted 52 punt returns for 552 total yards this season. In the Mounties’ 30-9 loss to StFX on Oct. 5, Bohan, had 10 punt returns for 210 yards to set a Mount Allison school record. His 210 yards are also the second most punt return yards by an individual in a single game in AUS history – just 10 yards shy of the all-time conference record of 220 yards set by Acadia’s Scott Crichton in 1972.

Earning offensive all-star honours for the first-place Saint Mary’s Huskies are third-year centre Kyle Whalen (St. John’s, N.L.) and fifth-year guard Guillaume Gagnier (Laval, Que.). Gagnier was also named to the AUS all-star team in 2011 and 2012.

Fourth-year cornerback Eric Black (Brampton, Ont.) and second-year linebacker Jonathan Langa (Etobicoke, Ont.) were named defensive all-stars for the Huskies.

Fifth-year Saint Mary’s defensive end Rob Jubenville earned all-star honours for the third consecutive year. He was also named the conference’s most outstanding lineman of the year in 2012. Jubenville concludes his AUS playing career this season as the all-time career leader in sacks with 36.

Earning all-star honours for the StFX X-Men are second-year punter Hayden Peters (Inverary, Ont.), fourth-year tackle Terry Hart (Barrie, Ont.), fourth-year wide receiver Devon Bailey (Mississauga, Ont.) and fourth-year linebacker Ron Omara (Aylmer, Que.).

Peters averaged a league-leading 37.1 yards per punt on 76 punts this season. Bailey, the No. 2-ranked prospect for the 2014 CFL Canadian draft, caught a league-leading five touchdowns, three more than any other AUS player this season. 

Omara led the conference in tackles this season with a career-high 62 (47 solo and 30 assisted), giving him the highest tackles per game average with 7.8.
