OTTAWA, Canada, March 9, 2020 - Volleyball Canada is pleased to announce its men’s programme coaching staff for the 2020 season.

The senior team, which is qualified for the 2020 Olympics and set to participate in this year's edition of the FIVB Volleyball Nations League, will be headed by veteran coach Glenn Hoag along with an experienced assistant staff of Gino Brousseau, Dan Lewis and Joao Paulo Bravo, who was previously with Canada’s junior team.
