Summary
Daniele, who may be viewed as diminutive in size at 5’ 6”, is a powerhouse on the pitch for the Humber Hawks men’s soccer team. The fourth-year midfielder was a key contributor on the Hawks squad that swept its way to winning both the OCAA Provincial and CCAA National championship titles last year. In fact, he played a significant role in the national gold medal game, as the Humber squad had to battle after going down two men early in the first half.
This season, the Hawks have not skipped a beat and are ranked as the number one collegiate men’s soccer team in the province and in the country. Daniele, from his position as a midfielder, has to read the play, challenge for the ball consistently, and distribute to the strikers for opportunities to score. This is one of the most intellectual positions in soccer.
He is striving in the classroom as well, currently in his second year in the Culinary Management Program at Humber. Great things come in small packages, and that is the basis of Daniele receiving the 2016 Etobicoke Sports Hall of Fame Scholarship.
