In his first season in the MCAC, Canadian Mennonite University rookie, John Nieckarz, is a Week 8 Athlete of the Week.
In the Blazers’ 3-1 win over the Assiniboine Community College Cougars on October 30th, Nieckarz spun two aces and recorded 14 kills on 24 total attempts.
The 6’5″ Nieckarz spent last season redshirting for the University of Manitoba Bisons and brings a much desired versatility to the Blazers roster. Against the Cougars, Nieckarz played 3 sets on the offside and one in the middle.
