Cassidy Ross (Kinsella)
(Inducted 2026)
So dominant was Cassidy Ross (nee Kinsella) during her volleyball career at MacEwan that she has more than double the amount of career kills than second place on the all-time list.
Ross produced 1,461 kills during a prolific five-year career from 2013-18, which ranks well above all others who've played volleyball for the Griffins since the program's inception in 1977.
Ross is one of only three student-athletes in any MacEwan sport to win a team's most outstanding player award in four-straight seasons (2014-18) and won the Griffins' Female Athlete of the Year honour in her final season (2017-18).
She was also named to the Canada West second all-star team in 2016-17 and won ACAC rookie of the year honours in 2013-14.
Ross ranks among the best players in Canada West women's volleyball history with 1,293 career U SPORTS kills (fourth all-time). Her 2016-17 season of 364 kills still ranks as the 11th most prolific campaign in Canada West history.
Ross is not only the Griffins' all-time leader in kills, she is also the program's record-holder in digs (1,079) and points (1,477.5), while ranking fourth in career blocks (181), even though she was an outside hitter, not a middle.
She also shares the program record for the most kills in a Canada West match by a Griffin (25, accomlished three times).
