Earning All-Conference honours is a reflection of individual athletic excellence and consistent impact throughout the season. In the ACAC, All-Conference selections are made by the coaches across the league.

Wesley Sadoski, Men's Futsal

Sadoski recorded an impressive 148 saves while anchoring the team from the back.

Manz finished with 18 points and quickly established herself as a consistent contributor to the Broncos. She demonstrated steady growth throughout the season and continued to elevate her game as the season progressed. Beyond her significant contributions on the ice, Manz also earned one of the most prestigious academic honours in the conference, being named the ACAC Women's Hockey Top Scholastic Award winner. This recognition highlights her ability to balance the demands of varsity athletics with exceptional academic performance, standing out both in the classroom, and on the ice.
