Michael Heppelle returned to the VIU Mariners for his third PACWEST season and is one of the leaders for his club.

During the COVID-19 pandemic Heppelle was back at home in Japan under heavy restrictions and was barely able to stay in soccer shape. However, he has comeback to the Mariners just as strong as ever and has a burning desire to win in the PACWEST.

He has been outstanding this season in the Mariners midfield playing both ways and is looking forward to the post season. The only real question is will he stay on camera in this PACWEST Spotlight with Ryan Watters?
