For the year, Donville has recorded 35 points (9G/26A), of which ranks him first amongst rookies in points, assists and is second in goals scored.

This is the eighth time a Panther City rookie has been named NLL Rookie of the Week under the direction of GM Bob Hamley and Head Coach Tracey Kelusky and through nine weeks of the 2022-23 NLL season, Panther City's 2022 rookie class has been awarded with Rookie of the Week honors four times.
