Ando earns MVP as UNBC Men’s Soccer announces award winners


Most Valuable Player:
Kensho Ando, M
Tokyo, Japan
Coach Steve Simonson: “Kenny arrived in Prince George and immediately established himself as a tremendous addition to our program on and off the pitch. He is tremendous with the ball at his feet, he looks to get his teammates involved, he plays the entire park, and he is a dangerous player. I am excited to see what he does next season, and am proud of him for earning this award from his fellow Timberwolves.”

Rob Goodey, GK
Langley, B.C.
Rob Goodey’s 2019-2020 season was one to remember, as he became the first goalkeeper in Timberwolves history to be named a Canada West all-star. A tremendous shot-stopper, the veteran keeper was crucial in UNBC’s contention for the conference playoffs.
Golden Boot Award:
Stu Rowlands, F
Chilliwack, B.C.
Coach Steve Simonson: “Stu’s impact on the offensive end of the field was huge for us this year. Due to injury concerns he had a limited role and still managed to be a major scoring threat. Once he is fully healthy, we anticipate even greater things to come.”

Mitch Linley, D
Fort St. John, B.C.
This award honours the player who represents the values of the TWolves program on and off the pitch, exemplifying teamwork, community, commitment, and academics. Mitch Linley is a multiple-time Academic All-Canadian, a member of the Timberwolves Student Athlete Society, and a passionate, hardworking teammate, who figures to play a key role for UNBC for years to come.
