Cougars Women's Volleyball alumni Nyadholi Thokbuom, Maddy Marshall, and Quinn Pelland have been named to Volleyball Canada's 2023 Women's NextGen team.
 
The NextGen program acts as an entry point for athletes that wish to play for Canada. An integral part of the Women's Senior National team, the program aims to develop elite athletes that contribute to podium finishes and Olympic qualifications through a full-time, high performance training environment with continued development and competition opportunities.
 
"Dholi, Maddy, and Quinn have worked so hard to earn this opportunity," said Cougars Women's Volleyball Head Coach, Shane Smith. "It's an honour for them to represent our country in international competition. We are so proud and excited to watch them play this summer."
 
The team began training in Richmond, B.C. on May 24. They will start the season as hosts of St. Mary's College for training and a series of friendly matches in June, followed by trips to Mexico and the Dominican Republic.
