Shawnigan alumnus earns OUA acclaim
Shawnigan alumnus Matt Beukeboom has been named the OUA Rookie of the Year.
A freshman at Queen's University, the all-star lock has helped his Gaels team reach the OUA championship game, set for this weekend in Guelph.
Beukeboom ’15 (Lake's) was a member of Shawnigan's 1st XV in 2014 and 2015, before heading back to his native Ontario to attend Queen's.
He has also been selected to join Coach Jeff Williams for the upcoming Canada under-20 camp.
Fellow alumnus Cole Milne was also named to the OUA all-star team, after a stellar freshman campaign at Royal Military College.
