Ryan Anstey

Ryan Anstey's university sport career started with a bang, being a member of the Atlantic University Sport (AUS) champion Panthers in only his second season with the UPEI Men's Soccer team in 2002-2003. He was named team MVP and an AUS First-Team All-Star in 2003-2004. The next year, he made the AUS First-Team again and was named CIS Academic All-Canadian. His final season, 2005-2006, was incredible. He was named team MVP, a First-Team All-Star for the AUS, leading scorer in the CIS, a CIS Academic All-Canadian, a tournament all-star at the CIS championships, UPEI Male Outstanding Athlete of the Year and the CIS Outstanding Male Player of the Year. Anstey was known for his one-on-one play, able to advance the ball quickly up the field, but also as a striker who came back to help his midfielders win the ball back -- the consummate two-way player.
