16U KODIAKS RED START 2017 WITH A SUPER SERIES WIN
The PGYVC 16U Kodiaks Red's last match a year ago was a three set loss in the 15U Provincial final. The group has undergone some changes since that loss. Some new players were added from last year's 15U Kodiak Black team giving this year's squad some added height. Kodiak alumni and former GPRC player Austin Cromatry has joined the coaching staff and the team has spent the first six weeks of the season training one night a week with the 18U Kodiak teams. The result was an undefeated run through the round robin with straight set wins over Air Attack, Focus Fusion and Powell River. Next was a 25-20, 25-19 quarterfinal win over Focus Eclipse followed by a 25-23, 25-18 semifinal win over Victoria Black. In the final the Kodiaks again met number 1 ranked Seaside. Just like the battle in last year's Provincial final, the match went 3 sets. This time the Kodiaks came out on top 25-15, 18-25, 15-6.
The 16U Kodiaks Red team members are (left to right): Hans Minck (head coach), Rafael Rodrigues, Nolan Minck, Matt Shand, Cole Johnston, Nick Harding, Dayton O'Neil, Zack Ohori, Kyle McKee, Trayl Plouffe (Asst. Coach), Austin Cromarty (Asst. Coach). Missing: Christopher Magrath, Colby Graham.
This past year was no doubt a tough one for the PGYVC 18U Kodiaks. However, the athletes gathered at the 2016 Relay For Life to join the "FOR A WARRIOR" team that was put together by Leigh Thibault and Maddie Dreher. The team was raising money for cancer research and honouring Ryan Thibault, who passed away in April.
At the 16U Western Open Championship in Calgary, the 16U Kodiaks Black faced off against the Fort McMurray Thunder on day one. After the match the Kodiak players presented the Fort McMurray team with PGYVC water bottles, dinner gift cards and lip balm as well as a donation of $435.00 for the Fort McMurray Volleyball Club. Organized by team manager Carolyn Shannon, the donations came from people from around PG prior to the trip.
