November’s Male Athlete of the Month has been awarded to men’s field hockey player Brenden Bissett. The fourth-year midfielder was critical in the Vikes’ draw with West Vancouver, which gave the Vikes their first point of the season. Bissett was also called up to the Canada men’s national team roster for a New Zealand Tour in December. The New Westminster, B.C. native is no stranger to the international stage as he was a member of Canada’s junior team that competed in the 2013 Junior World Cup but it will be his first senior team appearance since 2011.
