Ryan MacKinnon's efforts for the UVic Vikes men's basketball team this year did not go unnoticed.
Last Thursday in Halifax, Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) recognized his performance as he was named a second-team All-Canadian.
The guard from Comox was the first UVic men's player since Chris Trumpy (2005-06) to be selected.
MacKinnon capped his fifth season by leading the Vikes to the Pacific Division title and a berth in the Canada West Final Four in Saskatoon. He finished third in conference scoring, averaging 19.9 points per game, and was also deadly from three-point range. He finished with 204 career three-pointers, fifth all-time in Canada West.
MacKinnon led the Vikes in scoring in 13 of their 18 Canada West games and in 15 of 21 against CIS opponents.
In five playoff games this year, MacKinnon recorded 99 points, seven steals, five blocks and 17 assists. He had a career-high 33 points in a 90-88 win over the Calgary Dinos in the playoffs to advance the Vikes to the Final Four.
