I believe OUA and AUS broadcasts are free. Canada West tV is a paid service - $80 or so for all the sports in the entire conference for every Canada West school, so pretty reasonable. You wouldn't happen to have those OUA and AUS links handy, would ya? www.atlanticuniversitysport.com/sports/wvball/2018-19/schedule?confonly=1I believe you just click on video beside each game (that is live) otherwise good luck trying to watch an archived game. I'm not familiar with the OUA so not much help for you there.

Number 2 Dino’s lose to ALBERTA Pandas in 5 - nail biter. Pandas played with less errors and a strong defensive game. Rematch tonite at 4MST. Hope we get different Refs since these ones seemed a bit wishy washy.

Toronto vs Ryerson in a few hours as well, matching up the top two teams in the OUA East.
The Pandas and Dinos split their two game series over the weekend.

Montreal defeated McGill, and overtake them for the top slot by a half a game.

Ryerson digs their way out of a deep hole to beat Toronto in five sets on the road, opening up a four pt cushion over them in the OUA East standings.

It is cool that Newfoundland has a VB team. They are fairly underrepresented in the Canadian sports scene.
By that same token it is too bad that PEI doesn't have a VB team. Otherwise every Province would have at least one.

Otherwise every Province would have at least one. Newfoundland had a men's team up until 2 years ago when administration cut the program because of cost. PEI has a team that competes in the. College league, Holland College, while UPEI is trying to bring back their women's volleyball team, from what I understand. They compete in the AUS in many other sports. On a side note, the only sport that Newfoundland has much success in is curling. Memorial has won USport twice (I think) in the last few years. And then there's Brad Gushue who also does fairly well in the sport!

Yes, Gushue does better than average, eh? Also, Olympic/World Figure Skating medalist, Kaetlyn Osmond, was born in NL, however did not really grow up there. To briefly touch on PEI Volleyball - they have to have the weirdest setup for Club. Last year when I was looking at out-of-province tournaments, I came across their website for more info, so take a look at this: volleyballpei.com/page.php?page_id=80494Very strange. It's also weird to me that NS and PEI have the same time frame for club, which is the opposite for NB and NL - you'd think the Atlantic provinces would all be running at the same time. I'm not 100% sure about the other provinces for when they have their club season, but I assume most are in Winter/Spring, not Fall, as school volleyball is generally in the Fall.

Newfoundland lacks club for the most part. There are no club tournaments and the only "clubs" are high school teams who add a few extra players to go to Nationals. I grew up in this system and its really strange. Everything from September to May is school based and it's not helping grow the sport. The thing is the last couple clubs that started have folded because of the financial strain of maintaining a facility while charging prices that people could afford. In saying that these clubs have not gone past the Avalon peninsula. So not even close to half the province had access to them. New Brunswick is growing in terms of clubs but their seasons are still a little strange.

New Brunswick is growing in terms of clubs but their seasons are still a little strange. Well in order to grow the sport in NL and NB, you first need to grow the population. Their population is stagnant at 500,000 and 750,000 respectively (gains in some years are essentially wiped out by losses in other years). NS is showing a bit of growth, but their gains come entirely from Halifax: the rest of the province is actually shrinking. PEI is growing healthily, but they're well under 200,000 so it's still a small talent pool.

Substandard club Volleyball is a small price to pay for getting to live in a sparsely populated area.
