After a 15-year hiatus, Brock University Athletics and Recreation is bringing men\u2019s varsity volleyball back and has named Doug Hanes as the program\u2019s head coach. The Badgers men\u2019s volleyball team will be a new member of Ontario University Athletics (OUA) starting in the 2016-17 year. The University previously had a men\u2019s volleyball team from 1978-79 until it was phased out after the 2000-01 season.<\/p>\n
“We have the perfect fit to jumpstart our men’s volleyball program,” said Assistant Athletic Director Chris Critelli. “Doug brings with him the experience of a veteran coach, the enthusiasm of creating a team and starting fresh, as well as the network to recruit some talented student athletes.”<\/p>\n
“I am honoured to be selected as the new head coach to start a brand new program at Brock,” said Hanes. “I hope to put a competitive team on the court in the first year and build a successful program moving forward. I would invite any university-bound volleyball players to seriously consider Brock University as a school that will now be competing for a CIS National Championship in men’s volleyball.”<\/p>\n
Hanes is the former head coach of the men\u2019s volleyball team at the University of Waterloo, where he led the Warriors to six consecutive winning seasons from 1998-2004, including two OUA West Finals.<\/p>\n
While coaching at Forest Heights Collegiate in Kitchener, Hanes won back-to back OFSAA Championships in 1995 and 1996. As a club coach, he won numerous Provincial Championships with the Waterloo Tigers and a Gold Medal at the Ontario Summer Games as head coach of Region 3. He captured a silver medal at the World Master’s Games in 2005. Hanes has also been the Director of Volleyball for Celtic Sports Camps for the past six years.<\/p>\n
As a former player, Hanes played for the University of Guelph Gryphons, winning an OUA Championship and finishing third at the CIAU National Championships in 1978.<\/p>\n
Hanes is a Level III NCCP certified coach. He holds a BSc in Human Kinetics from the University of Guelph (1979) and BEd from the University of Toronto (1981).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
