Men's Volleyball Team Info
The WolfPack men's volleyball team has been one of the steadiest programs for TRU since joining the CIS six years ago. They are hoping to continue that course in 2011-12.
The WolfPack finished off the 2010-11 season with another berth in the Canada West playoffs. With a line up which had no players with more than two years CIS experience, they bowed out to the eventual CIS Champion Trinity Western Spartans.
Pat Hennelly has always had a knack of getting the most out of his players. He will again this season.
Colin Carson (Prince George, BC) is one of the country's top young setters. He'll be joined in the leadership role this season by libero Spencer Reed (Prince George, BC) and middle Alex Davis (White Rock, BC). Davis played for Canada's Junior National Men's team in the Summer of 2011.
Hennelly had done a masterful job of recruiting talent and this year is no different. His recruits include Brad Gunter of Comox, BC and Nic Balazs of Prince George BC. Both were members of Team BC at the 2011 Western Canada Summer Games (which Hennelly was the coach). Gunter was named as the Province Newspaper's top high school recruit of 2010-11.
Another new face with the WolfPack will be Chris Osborn of California. He sat out last season after playing in 2009-10 with the University of Manitoba. Osborn has NCAA Division I basketball and volleyball experience.
