Stars on the Rise: Standouts from the 2025 Girls Club League
The 2025 Girls Club Season once again proved why it’s the premier platform for emerging Canadian talent, spotlighting future stars who continue to raise the bar. From dynamic backcourts and lethal shooters to relentless rebounders and rim protectors, this season featured a wealth of performances that left a powerful mark on the scouting landscape.
Tehillah Bonney & Ariah Luu-Etienne (B.1.C.E All In)
Leading the way was the electrifying backcourt of Tehillah Bonney (Class of 2031) and Ariah Luu-Etienne (Class of 2030) of B.1.C.E All In. Bonney set the standard as a complete two-way floor general, finishing the regular season 4th in points per game, 2nd in efficiency rating, 1st in assists, and tied for 2nd in steals. Her ability to dictate pace, make high-level reads, and pressure ball handlers full court made her indispensable.
This stifling defense was part of an incredible collective effort: the top four league leaders in steals all came from B.1.C.E All In, with Alexia V., Ariah L., Aryaah C., and Tehillah B., forming a perimeter unit that consistently turned defence into easy transition points.
Running alongside her, Ariah Luu-Etienne topped the regular season scoring charts at 13.6 points per game, finishing #1 in efficiency and tying for 2nd in steals, proving herself to be one of the league’s most complete and dynamic two-way players.
Carys Linton & Kyla Kipfer (B.1.C.E London)
Carys Linton of B.1.C.E London was the showcase’s premier perimeter sniper, leading the regular season in three-pointers made and ranking inside the top 10 in scoring. Her effortless, high-arching shot forced defenses to scramble, opening driving lanes for teammate Kyla Kipfer, who attacked aggressively and closed the season 5th in overall scoring, giving B.1.C.E London a dangerous inside-out combination that few teams could handle.
Amyra Reid-Lee (Sister Keeper Young 1s)
Amyra Reid-Lee of Sister Keeper Next Gen was relentless all season, finishing 3rd in points per game at 12.5 and 2nd in free throws made, consistently getting downhill, drawing fouls, and converting at the stripe. Her fearless mentality attacking the paint made her a difficult assignment every game.
Rayna Johnson Charles (Sister Keeper Young 1s)
Rayna Johnson Charles imposed her will on the glass, leading the regular season with 6.3 rebounds per game, using her instincts and physicality to secure boards, ignite breaks, and provide critical second-chance opportunities.
Sojal Dhillion (Dream Chaserzzz)
Sojal Dhillion, still relatively new to the sport, led the regular season with 1.7 blocks per game, emerging as the showcase’s top rim protector. Her timing and fearless contests disrupted countless drives and anchored her team’s interior defense well beyond the stat sheet.
Jersey Waito & Beren Nuyukgural (Toronto Lords)
Before a recent finger injury sidelined her, Jersey Waito of the Toronto Lords was having a stellar season, ranking 2nd in scoring with 13.3 points per game, leading the league in free throw attempts and makes, and sitting Top 5 in steals — underscoring her aggressive two-way impact. With Waito not 100%, Coach Arash will look to Beren Nuyukgural, also a top 10 scorer, to step up and shoulder a larger offensive load as the Lords continue their push.
Playoff Standouts
As the spotlight grew brighter in the playoffs, several players elevated their games under pressure, delivering high-impact performances that defined their teams’ postseason runs.
- Shekinah Bonney (B.1.C.E All In) – Finals MVP drove her team to the top of the podium, guiding B.1.C.E All In to the gold medal by averaging 21.5 points across two playoff games, highlighted by a commanding 24-point performance in the finals. Her composure, ability to change speeds, and pinpoint reads under playoff intensity earned her Finals MVP honours, underscoring her value as the engine of B.1.C.E’s title run.
- Reine-Marie Luke (B.1.C.E All In) mirrored Shekinah with an equally brilliant playoff showing, also averaging 21.5 points, with an identical scoring line of 24 points in the finals and 19 in the semifinal. This uncanny symmetry showcased their synergy and proved devastating for opposing defenses, securing the championship for B.1.C.E.
- Osnia Coulibaly (Drop Off Elite) dominated the interior, averaging 17.3 points per game while leading all players in rebounds, using her strength and motor to control the glass and power Drop Off Elite to a silver medal finish, falling only to B.1.C.E in the championship.
- Sophie Munn (Dream Chaserz) was a consistent scoring force in the playoffs, averaging 22 points per game, attacking defenders off the bounce and finishing through contact. Her younger sister Madeline Munn added 12.5 points per game, forming a dynamic tandem that helped secure Dream Chaserz the bronze medal, placing third overall.
- Amyra Reid-Lee (Sister Keeper Young 1s) delivered a standout playoff performance, averaging 16 points per game while demonstrating remarkable efficiency and control. With the ball in her hands nearly every possession, she committed only 3 total turnovers across two games, underscoring her elite decision-making. Her steady leadership helped Sister Keeper Young 1s knock off the Toronto Lords in the first round, controlling tempo even under heavy defensive heat.
- Davina Grant & Stella Veersammy (Sister Keeper Next Gen) combined for 24 points in their playoff matchup, orchestrating a fierce rally from a 15-point deficitthat ultimately fell short on a heartbreaking game winner. Their resilience and composure under pressure highlighted Sister Keeper Next Gen’s competitive edge and bright future.
- Kyla Kipfer & Jaylin Campbell (B.1.C.E London) combined for 24 points, 10 rebounds, and just 2 turnovers, putting together an efficient performance despite falling to Dream Chaserzzz. Even so, along with Sister Keeper Young 1s, they were one of the two youngest teams in the field, gaining critical playoff experience that positions both programs to come back stronger and even more dangerous next season.
- Beren Buyukgural (Toronto Lords) turned in a strong playoff effort, posting 20 points, 11 rebounds, 2 steals, and 1 block, carrying much of the load as Jersey Waito, battling a finger injury and not at full strength, still contributed 10 points and 2 steals before the Lords were eliminated by Sister Keeper Young 1s in the opening round.
