Headlined by Mark Do Coito's OCAA East Division Player of the Year and CCAA All-Canadian awards, the Huskies had four student-athletes earn OCAA honours, including Gianfranco Gileppo, Hakeem Bailey, and Daniel Parisotto.

Do Coito made a significant impact on the pitch this season, solidifying his reputation as one of the best all-around players in both the OCAA and CCAA. In addition to his growing list of individual awards, he became the first Huskies since 2018 to claim the titles of East Division Player of the Year, CCAA All-Canadian, and OCAA League Scoring Champion. He also earned East Division First Team All-Star honours for the third consecutive season. Offensively, he topped the league in goals (11), ranked third in points (22), and finished fourth in game-winning goals (2). Defensively, as the team's center back, Do Coito anchored a unit that grew to one of the best units as they didn't allow a single goal in their final four matches. His leadership, through actions and communication, played a pivotal role in the team's success.

For the second straight season, Gileppo was named an East Division Second Team All-Star. His creativity and passing ability helped elevate the Huskies offensive tempo, establishing him as a key playmaker. Despite only playing in seven of the team's 10 games, the midfielder led the OCAA in assists (6) while finishing fourth in points (18), eighth in goals (6), and third in shots (23).

Bailey joined Gileppo as an East Division Second Team All-Star. Though initially known as a striker, the first-year player smoothly transitioned to midfield, showcasing exceptional size, ball control, and defensive abilities. Bailey's imposing presence made him a force in one-on-one situations, and while he may not always stand out with flashy plays, his consistency and reliability are every coach's dream. He finished the season with one goal and two assists across 10 games.

Parisotto emerged as one of the best all-around first-years in the OCAA, earning a spot on the East Division All-Rookie Team. He was trusted to control the game's pace from the middle of the pitch and thrived in the critical role. His presence allowed the team's veterans to play in their natural positions, while his vision and playmaking abilities often didn't show up on the stat sheet, they were instrumental to the Huskies success. He played in every match as in central midfielder position and recorded a goal in the process.
