October 02, 2025:  Volleyball Canada is pleased to announce the NORCECA Men’s Final Six roster, which consists of players from the U SPORTS Championship winning Brandon Bobcats men’s volleyball squad.

The Bobcats defeated the University of Alberta Golden Bears 3-1 (25-20, 22-25, 28-26, 25-17) for their first-ever U Sports men’s volleyball gold medal on home court in March. 

This also earned the team the right to represent Canada at this year’s Final Six, which will be held in Ponce, Puerto Rico, Oct. 6 to 12.
