Angelo Kioussis spent four seasons (1976, 77, 79, 80) as a defensive back with the York football team. A four-time OUAA all-star, he was the first York football player to be named a CIAU all-Canadian. Kioussis, a team captain, was consistently among the league leaders in tackles, interceptions and punt returns. He was the OUAA's top defensive player and the recipient of the Tom Pate CFL/CIAU Award (recognizing academics, football and community involvement) in 1979.
