Jude Shepherd-Hills of the Briercrest College Clippers has been named the 2025 Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) Men’s Basketball Player of the Year.

Shepherd-Hills was instrumental in leading the Clippers to a dominant 19-1 conference record this season. The forward posted impressive numbers, averaging 16.7 points, 10.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 2.1 steals per game while shooting 50.4% from the field. 

"Jude Shepherd-Hills embodies everything the CCAA looks for in a Player of the Year—excellence on the court, leadership within his team, and a commitment to both athletic and academic success. His ability to impact the game in so many ways, from scoring and rebounding to defending and facilitating, has made him an invaluable piece of Briercrest College’s incredible season." said Jonathan Lambert, CCAA Men's Basketball National Convenor, "Beyond the stat sheet, Jude’s dedication to his teammates, his mentorship off the court, and his contributions to the basketball community set him apart. His legacy as Briercrest’s all-time leading rebounder and a model student-athlete is well-earned, and we are thrilled to recognize him as the 2025 CCAA Men’s Basketball Player of the Year."

Beyond his athletic accomplishments, Shepherd-Hills is a strong leader both on and off the court. He also plays a key role in mentoring his teammates, leading small group training sessions, and excelling academically as an honour roll student every year at Briercrest. 

"I am extremely proud of not only the player Jude has turned into but more so what kind of man he has become over the past few years. His leadership skills and willingness to sacrifice personal stats for the good of the team this year has been on full display. Jude's willingness to buy into our team philosophy has had a tremendous influence on the rest of the team. Jude's work ethic and dedication to improve each year is evident in the season he has had on the court and in the team's 19-1 record." said Shane Sowden, Clippers' Head Coach .

Shepherd-Hills’ passion for basketball extends beyond Briercrest, as he was a member of the Saskatchewan Rattlers training staff in 2024. Additionally, he served as the 18U Head Coach for Golden Ticket Basketball Club in 2023, demonstrating his dedication to growing the sport at all levels.
