2025 Men's ACAA All-Stars
Men's assistant coach Kyle Reade had this to say:
First Team
Trystan Burnham: A true leader on and off the field, Trystan set the standard for excellence this season. As team captain, he anchored the backline with composure, toughness, and intelligence, consistently organizing the defence and inspiring those around him. His leadership was matched by his performances — calm under pressure, dominant in the air, and fearless in every challenge. Trystan's commitment, consistency, and competitive spirit made him the heart of the team and a deserving First Team All-Star.
Aidan was the engine of the midfield this season, dictating the tempo and controlling the flow of play with confidence and intelligence. His vision, composure on the ball, and ability to connect passes under pressure allowed the team to stay organized and dangerous in possession. Always calm and dependable, Aidan made those around him better with his leadership through play. A true difference-maker in the middle of the park, he earns his place as a First Team All-Star.
Second Team
Abdurahman was a constant threat in the attacking third all season. A composed striker with a natural instinct for goal, he showed great technical ability and confidence in possession. Whether finishing with precision or holding up play to bring teammates into the attack, Abdurahman's skill and poise made him a key piece of the offence. His creativity and goal-scoring touch earned him a well-deserved spot as a Second Team All-Star.
In his rookie season, Keanu made an immediate impact on the wing with his pace, determination, and fearless attacking play. Always willing to take on defenders, he brought energy and creativity every time he stepped on the field. His hard work on both sides of the ball and his ability to create scoring chances made him a constant threat. For his outstanding performances and impressive first year, Keanu earns his spot as a Second Team All-Star.
