If you watched a George Brown men's volleyball game in the last four years you will remember the name Edwin Sheon.
He has been a leader for the team - winning MVP in all four of his years – and for good reason.
Sheon is the Huskies all-time kills leader and now scratches his name into the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association (OCAA) record books finishing fifth all-time in kills with 801, a milestone he achieved after a 15 kill performance against La Cite College.
"It has been a commitment on both George Brown and I as well as my head coach Josh. He has had a lot of patience and a lot of faith in me which has made it an easy transition," Sheon said. "It is a really great honour and I am so grateful I had a chance to achieve this."
With Sheon among the OCAA's best, head coach Josh Nichol is proud of his former left-side hitter and is not too surprised with his success after seeing his work ethic and drive to constantly improve throughout the years.
"He was so consistent for us where he is the type of guy he works hard Monday and comes back Wednesday and works even harder, he always develops that new standard," Nichol said. "It is just a credit of his work ethic and his focus to his craft. A guy who was very good in his rookie year has always found a way to get better each year."
Now with his collegiate volleyball days behind him, in just four years, he was able to crack the OCAA top five in kills. It was an accomplishment he never set out to do but admits that having achieved sure a rare accomplishment, it is a great feeling.
"It is so special," Nichol said. "It is safe to say that Edwin will be one of the best guys to ever wear the George Brown uniform so for him to be in this era where not only is he the best player but you can credit him being the foundation. He has been here since day one and has helped the standard and culture of our program."
He has proved time and time again how much he has helped shape the young volleyball program, doing it on both ends of the floor. Sheon was also knocking on the door of the OCAA all-time digs list with over 450. He used the same motivation to score points as he did save them.
"I just did what it took to make my team win," Sheon said. "Volleyball has been a really important outlet for my life and when I started playing and being on the court I was able to transfer all the skills to my daily life, now everything I do I want to master it to perfection."
Nichol has certainly seen that first hand and explains that what made Sheon extraordinary is his ability to adapt to any role the team needed.
"He (Sheon) never has a bad game because he always finds a way to contribute," Nichol said. "He is really good at not letting an error compound into another error. If he is not passing the ball well he is going to contribute on offense end and if that isn't working he is going to get digs or blocks and achieve at his high level of standard."
