Teams & Coaches

Canuck Stuff Volleyball Club has a long history of developing both great young volleyball players and great young people.
 

Since 1998 Canuck has had over 4000 male and female athletes play high level volleyball here with the Volleydome facilities as our home . Many have gone on to play at colleges and universities all over North America as well as in Provincial and National team programs. Many of them contributed to the 70 plus Provincial and National Championship banners acquired over the years
 

A number of factors are responsible for this success, but probably the largest amount of credit should go to the amazing group of coaches and technical resource people that are the backbone of Canuck Stuff. Our current coaching staff has an unprecedented number of former national team and professional volleyball players, all anxious to pass along their experience and "Love of the Game" to the next generation of hard working athletes. Listed below are the teams and respective Canuck Stuff Coaches for the season.
 

One of the distinct advantages of a club like Canuck is the high caliber of coaches it attracts because of its history and reputation for developing great athletes, and great young people. We know each team will not only benefit from great coaching but will be exposed to the wealth of knowledge and experience of our Technical Committee consisting of a group or former CIS, National Team and many Pro volleyball players, as they help with the selection process, assist at team practices and offer positional clinics to Canuck athletes throughout the season.
 

Club Founders and Technical Directors: Don and Mylene Saxton


Don's volleyball career as a player started nearly 45 years ago, when after 2 years of playing Basketball at U of S he saw the light and switched to Volleyball, winning CIAU Gold in 1979. Don went on to play a total of 8 years with Team Canada earning a second place finish at the FISU Games, a third place finish at the Pan Am Games, and a forth place finish at the 1984 Olympics. Don played Pro Volleyball with the Dutch team in 1980, and in Spain from 1989 to 1991. He started the Canuck Stuff Volleyball Club in 1991 as a men's team which won 7 Canadian Championships and 1 USA Open Championship. During the next 15 years he enjoyed playing and winning in the masters and seniors categories, earning 4 more World Titles.

Don's coaching career started with a couple of seasons as an apprentice and assistant coach with Team Canada and his first youth club team was a group of 13 year old Bantam boys most of whom had never seen a volleyball before. Since that time Don and Mylene have run programs for players of all ages including the very popular adult co-ed leagues, Volleyball Academy and Dome Club for kids grade 3 to 11, School and Club Tournaments and of course the Canuck Stuff Youth Volleyball Club for male and female players between the ages of 13 and 18. Don was awarded the Tachikara Coach of the Year Award in 2008 after taking a group of U18 girls on an unexpected journey which ended with a Silver medal at the Canadian Open Juvenile Championships. The next season he led a group of U14 guys to a National Championship in Abbotsford and was inducted into the Sports Hall of Fame again, this time as the recipient of the Sport Builder Award. Don has continued to enjoy sharing his Love of the Game with young athletes and is looking forward to starting a group of U14 boys on their Volleyball Journey in the 2023 season!

Mylene played at the University of Ottawa where she was awarded the CIAU Most Valuable Player Award in 1980. She played 1 year with the Jr. National Team and then went on to play six years for Team Canada, mostly as a middle blocker.

After moving to Calgary, Mylene taught and coached volleyball at St. Mary's High School. Mylene has developed many great young volleyball players through the Canuck Stuff program winning two Canadian National Championships in 2003 and 2005. Mylene has enjoyed coaching our younger athletes working with the U14 age group and winning back to back provincial championships in 2012 and 2013. Mylene continued to coach and develop so very many young women until she stepped away from active coaching in 2020.

The Saxton's contribution to the game of volleyball can only be described as "immeasurable".

Coaches : Bill Knight, Jon Isaacs & Jeremy Sadleir
 

Bill Knight

Over the past 40 years Bill has been a player, official and coach in different sports. He has coached Volleyball, Basketball and Soccer over the last 25 years. He was a 10 year member of the Canadian men’s national team, 1992 Olympian and he finished off his volleyball career with Canuck Stuff National Championship in 1995. Hanging up the playing equipment and picking up the whistle changed his focus in the sport to development of the players and the referees to better improve the overall level of the game. He was involved with the original Volleydome operations and has returned to coaching volleyball the past number of seasons starting with the younger kids at Dome and then into provincial club system where has coached guys and girls teams from the U14 to U18 age groups. If you do not see him on the court as a coach, you may see him on the referee stand, as he officiates many weekends and at all levels which gives him a different perspective and insight to the game.

​

Jon Isaacs

​

Jon grew up playing volleyball in the Bahamas and joined the Jr. National Team there in 2009. He came to Canada in 2011 to attend the Alberta College of Art and Design (ACAD) and began practicing with the SAIT Men's team. Jon officially joined the Bahama's Sr. Men's National Team in 2012. He joined the SAIT Trojans in 2014 as a right side for the ACAC volleyball season and returned home to play and travel with the National Team during the summers. Jon has also competed on the international beach circuit for the past several years. He has been coaching various youth and adult programs here at the Volleydome for years as well as some youth development programs back home.  This will Jon’s eighth year with Canuck having coach numerous boys teams at all age groups.

He spent 16 years officiating Basketball at all levels including community, ACAC, CIAU and the World Basketball League. Brian believes strongly in the lifelong benefits children gain when they participate in competitive sports as witnessed in his own children as well as many others in his years in sports. Over the years Brian's teams have earned several championship banners and many of the athletes he has coached have gone to play at the post secondary, national and professional levels, but his greatest pride is in watching these young athletes grow to become great young men and women and in some cases return to coach at Canuck or the Volleydome.

U13/14 Girls

Coaches: Milou Saxton, Brianna Flanigan, Kat Dolguikh and Rebeca Agoston

Milou Saxton

Milou, being the first of the four Saxton children, started playing volleyball at the age of 10 and spent 7 years playing with Canuck Stuff club - winning a couple of Provincial Championships and 2 Nationals Championships before going off to Connecticut University for 5 years as a Division 1 setter/rightside in the NCAA and pursuing her interests in graphic design.

Milou’s passion for coaching started when she was about 16 years old running the Volleydome summer camps for kids and she has been actively coaching ever since. Over the years she has coached all age groups for both guys and girls. Milou has also really enjoyed sharing her experience as a high level setter over the past few years by running setting sessions for our juvenile women’s setters. Add to that her passion for the beach game and the fact that she spends her summers coaching beach volleyball to club athletes as well as on the Provincial Teams, Summer Games teams and most recently the Western Canada Summer Games team.
In her “spare time” she works full time running the Volleydome's Youth programs and somehow still finds time play in the competitive women’s and co-ed leagues. Not sure where she finds the energy, but we are sure grateful for all she brings to our club and the volleyball community in general!
