RICHMOND, Canada, March 18, 2022
- Volleyball Canada is pleased to announce its
women’s Senior and Next Gen coaching and
technical staff for the 2022 season.
I’m excited to have a mix of talented and
experienced returning staff and new additions
this year,” said Women’s Head Coach Shannon
Winzer. “We are building on last year’s growth
as a team, and we are looking forward to playing
in VNL in front of a home crowd early this
summer in Calgary, and preparing for the
upcoming World Championship. We are also looking
ahead with our Next Gen team as they build a
base for the future success of the program.”
Vincenzo Mallia, also an assistant at the
University of Toronto, returns to the senior
team staff this year along with UBC’s Matt
Krueger – both will serve as assistants to
Winzer. Gabriele Tortorici, currently an
assistant coach with Bartoccini-Fortinfissi
Perugia (Italy), will join the staff as a
performance analyst.
The new head coach of the Next Gen program is
Steve Delaney, currently head coach at Brock
University in St. Catharines, Ontario. He was
previously involved with Team Ontario and the
Halton Hurricanes (HRVC) and is a former beach
volleyball player. He joins staff Carolyn
O’Dwyer and Cody Piwowar-Desilets, both based
B.C.
The women’s team is based in Richmond, B.C. at
the Richmond Olympic Oval.
