Volleyball Canada – Indoor Men’s National B Team 2017

The following athletes were chosen earlier this month to represent Canada as part of the men’s B team program. The squad is currently in Gatineau training until July 24 in preparation for the 2017 Senior Pan Am Cup, which will be held in Gatineau QC. The tournament will feature teams including the U.S., Argentina, Cuba, Mexico and several others competing at the Centre Robert-Guertin.
