The Okanagan Sun congratulate safeties Brennan Van Nistelrooy and Jack Rush who were this evening named to the Canadian Junior Football League defensive All Canadian Team.

The hard hitting Rush wrapped up his junior career this past season after playing with the Sun the last two years after joining the club out of the University of Acadia. The leader of the Sun defense, Jack had a reputation as one of the hardest hitters and most intelligent players in the conference.

Van Nistelrooy was the Sun’s rookie of the year in 2011 and played in 2012 with the University of Alberta. The Sun was buoyed by the return this season of the grad of Catholic Central High School in Lethbridge. The rest of the conference remembered him well as he was recently named the top defensive back in the BCFC.

Congratulations to Jack, Brennan and Devon Kozar who was yesterday named to the offensive All Canadian Team.
