He had an impressive 16.94 points per game average. He was the team’s MVP that year and participated in the OCAA All-Star Game.

That year, he led his team to an OCAA gold medal and was awarded Player of the Game in the gold medal match.

Aminu then guided the Mountaineers to a gold medal victory at the CCAA national championship in 2012. Then came the awards where Aminu was named a CCAA All-Canadian, player of the game for the national championship gold medal match, an OCAA All Academic and CCAA Academic All-Canadian Athlete as well as the OCAA and CCAA Male Athlete of the Year (across all sports). At the Athletics Banquet Aminu was honoured by the College as the winner of the Dr. Sam Mitminger Award, the highest recognition an athlete can receive at the college.
