Mitch Irvine  from Red Deer College is the winner of the 2010 CCAA Men's Volleyball Player of the Year.

Mitch, a second  year  right side player,  led the ACAC in service aces with .83 per game and was second in the league in kills with 3.76 per game.    Irvine’s performance was a key component in the King’s season record of 17-3 which resulted in a number one ranking in the ACAC and number two National ranking.

Known as a very humble and coachable player, Irvine’s desire to win and hard work ethic have allowed him to improve at a consistent rate over the last two years.  His leadership abilities bring out the best in those around him. 

Mitch was a part of the Junior National Team that won the Alberta Games last summer.  In his spare time, he coaches with the CAKVC U17 team in Red Deer, and  guest coaches at Junior High and High Schools in the Central Alberta area.
