June 24, 2021

VANCOUVER - Canada West volleyball makes its long awaited return to the court October 29, as the conference announced its full 2021-22 schedule Thursday.

The conference season will open in Winnipeg with four matches scheduled for October 29-30. The Winnipeg Wesmen will host the Regina Cougars in women's action, while the Brandon Bobcats will take on the Wesmen on the men's side. The first full slate of conference play is set for November 4-6.

Fraser Valley is finally able to make its Canada West debut in volleyball in 2021-22.

The Trinity Western Spartans men's and women's teams will begin their defence of their respective Canada West titles from 2019-20 when they open the season November 5-6 at home against the Thompson Rivers Wolfpack.

The Canada West season will conclude February 26, with a revised playoff structure in place to determine the 2021-22 champions. As announced by the conference May 5, alternate formats will be used in the 2021-22 season, which for volleyball includes a reduced schedule of 16 or 18 games and 12 teams advancing to the playoffs.

The first round of the playoffs, March 4-6, feature three four-team pools that will battle for six spots in the second round of the playoffs March 11-13. In the second round, the teams will be divided into two pools with the top two teams advancing to the CW Final Four March 18-19.

With no U SPORTS Volleyball national championships in 2019-20 or 2020-21 a pair of Canada West schools still retain the title of reigning national champions. The Trinity Western men's and the UBC Thunderbirds women's squad will look to get back to the national championships in March.
