As always, there will be no shortage of great volleyball on the court, as both defending national champions reside in Western Canada, with the Trinity Western University Spartans men's team, and the UBC Thunderbirds women's squad looking to repeat as U SPORTS champions.
In terms of conference champs, it'll be the Brandon Bobcats men's team and TWU women's team looking to defend their Canada West crowns, as the CW Championship games are slated for the first weekend of March.
At the conclusion of conference play, the nation's best volleyball teams will stay in the West, as the Manitoba Bisons host the men's national tournament, while the Calgary Dinos welcome seven other national title hopefuls. Both events are slated for March 12-15, 2020.
