The men's volleyball team has extra motivation to make it to the Provincial Championships this year -- an opportunity to play on a home court filled with bleachers of Royals fans. Last May at the OCAA Annual General Meeting in Windsor, it was decided that Redeemer would host the 2009-2010 Volleyball Championships. This is the first time that Redeemer will host the prestigious volleyball tournament.
Athletic Director Dave Mantel is quoted on Redeemer's website as saying: "We are very excited. The event presents an amazing opportunity for our student athletes and specifically our men's volleyball team and our Royals fans. We have begun a regular tradition of hosting OCAA Championship events and are excited to add another one to the list [Redeemer hosted the Cross Country Championships last year] We have a number of departments who are all working together to make this event the highlight of the 2009-2010 academic year. It will be the pinnacle of our upcoming season and with the support of our very loyal fans it will certainly be an incredible atmosphere". The tournament will happen from February 25-27, 2010.
