Rodane Cato had an outstanding season with the NAIT Ooks helping them to an 11-0-1 record. Cato, the second-year Chemical Engineering Technology student from Hellshire, St. Catherine, was a force to be reckoned with this season. He garnered an impressive three goals and six assists, leading him to amass ten points this season. Cato started all eleven regular season games and was an offensive threat with a .200 shot percentage on the season.

"Rodane is incredibly deserving of this honour. In a game, in the gym, or on the training ground, Rodane is laser-focused on his development and adheres to a self-discipline and motivation that excites any coach. This hunger for excellence is accompanied by a humbleness and respectful demeanor that makes him well-liked by his teammates and accepting of any feedback that the coaching staff offers," said NAIT Ooks Head Coach Jeff Paulus. 

This prestigious award was recognized at the 2022 ACAC Men's Soccer Championship hosted by Lethbridge College in Lethbridge, AB.
