David

He was a key player on the 18U Canadian National Championship team and received many full scholarship offers after that match.

Niko

Niko Rukavina

Niko Rukavina started playing rep volleyball in grade 12, playing on our 18U team. Through hard work and a natural aptitude for the game, he earned a starting spot in the right side by mid-season and was the best player on the team by season end. He was recruited by Brenda Willis, the head coach of Queen’s University the following year. According to Coach Willis: “Niko has been an exceptional contributor in the Queen’s Gaels program. During his time here, we earned 2 OUA Gold medals and 2 OUA silver medals and placed 4th and 5th in the CIS Championships. Despite entering Volleyball quite late in his high school years, he caught the eye of the university coaches while playing for Pakmen. Over his career, he developed into one of the best all-around players I have coached in my 25 years at Queen’s. He has evolved into their best passer, best blocking left-side, and in 2012, he also served as the captain on the floor and the quarterback of their serve receive. Unfortunately, due to an ankle injury, Niko wasn’t able to jump until very late in the season this year. That didn’t stop him from contributing though. He played backcourt for Queen’s until he was able to swing again and did a great job in both positions. So well, in fact, that he was recognized as the OUA Libero of the Year in his final year as well as being named an OUA All-Star”.
