March 10, 2011 – Landis Doyle is the 2011 Canadian Colleges Athletic Association Women’s Volleyball Player of the Year. Doyle plays middle position for the Humber College Hawks in Etobicoke, Ont.

Doyle is one of the most decorated female volleyball players in Ontario’s history. Her five years with the Hawks have resulted in three OCAA provincial titles and numerous individual titles, including CCAA All-Canadian, CCAA Tournament All Star and OCAA Female Player of the Year. Doyle currently holds the OCAA record for individual points and aces, and is second on the list for kills and blocks.  

"Landis has managed to make a significant difference on a well-rounded team," said Linda Stapleton, CCAA vice president of governance. “It really shows her ability to perform.”

When not on the court with the Hawks, Landis plays on the Ontario provincial beach team, volunteers as a referee with the Ontario Volleyball Association and helps out at Humber club clinics.

The Humber Hawks are currently seeded sixth among the eight teams competing in the CCAA Women’s Volleyball Championship. Games will take place Thursday March 10 to Saturday March 12 at the University of New Brunswick in Saint John, N.B.

The other nominees for Women’s Volleyball Player of the Year were Jamie Brown of Mount Saint Vincent University, Valérie Lemay of Céegep de l’Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Caitlin Nyhus of University of British Columbia Okanagan and Andrea Price of Mount Royal University.

Doyle received the award Wednesday, March 9 during the CCAA All Canadian banquet at the CCAA Women’s Volleyball Championship in Saint John, N.B.
