Manitoba teams have participated for many years but this is the first time a Manitoba team has hosted the event. Participating PAC teams include the Saskatchewan Polytechnic Moose Jaw (Palliser) Panthers, Great Plains College Sun Dogs, and Saskatchewan Polytechnic Saskatoon (Kelsey) Amaruks. Along with the host Cougars, teams competing from the Manitoba Colleges Athletic Conference (MCAC) include the Red River College Rebels, Canadian Mennonite University Blazers and Université de St. Boniface Les Rouges.
The tournament is set up as a club style tournament with all matches being best of three sets as this is the regular season process for PAC teams. The men will play a cross-province pool while the women’s draw has one less team and will play a straight round robin.
All games will be held under one roof at Brandon University.
Last year the Cougars women’s team won their pool and went on to beat the Saskatoon/Kelsey Amaruks in the third set of the final game.
“This tournament is a good opportunity for the MCAC to continue to build on relationships with PAC schools,” says ACC athletics manager and Cougars women’s volleyball coach, Beth Clark. “Broadening our competition can only help us and I look forward to the chance to defend our title at home.”
The draws are as follows:
