St. Clair Saints Men’s Volleyball Add Two Transfers

The St. Clair College Department of Athletics and men’s volleyball program has announced the signing of two transfer recruits for the 2024-25 season. The men that will be joining the program are Sean Kennedy and River Ruiz.

Kennedy is a 6’2 setter from Victoria, BC where he attended Belmont Secondary School. Sean is transferring from the TMU Bold where he played in the 2022-23 season. Kennedy is a former Team BC 17U athlete and a 4 time BC Club Provincial Championship medalist. Kennedy will be taking the three year Biomedical Engineering Technology program.

Sean is excited to become a Saint. “St Clair felt like the right next step in my journey, both athletically and academically. With impressive facilities, strong academic programs and a quickly developing team, it was an easy choice. The coaching staff and athletes created a welcoming environment and are part of a strong community I am excited to be a part of.”

River Ruiz is a 6’1 setter who hails from Campbell River, BC where he graduated from Carihi Secondary School. River spent one season with Keyano College winning ACAC Bronze with the Huskies in 2022-23. He previously played for the Mariners Volleyball Club.  Ruiz will be taking the three year Civil Engineering Technology program.

River can’t wait to join Saints Nation. “I chose St. Clair to continue my schooling in the Civil Engineering program, and the opportunity to compete and bring depth to a very good team. I am excited to move across the country and become a part of this vastly improved program and outstanding college.”

Head coach, Shawn Reaume is looking forward to adding these two players to his group. “I’m very pleased to be adding these two experienced and talented athletes in high skill positions to help round out our roster. I expect that they will both have a big impact both on and off the court having already been a part of other programs, and this will help us greatly in the short and long term.”
