THUNDER BAY – The Lakehead Thunderwolves are bringing back one of their own to coach the women’s volleyball team.
Vanessa Chorkaway, a perennial OUA all-star and a Team Canada athlete, has agreed to take over the reins of the team from Craig Barclay, who resigned last summer.
The Thunderwolves, like all OUA sports teams, were sidelined in 2020-21 by the effects of COVID-19 and did not play.
Chorkawy will be joined by interim coach Brett Hagarty, the head coach of Team Ontario’s beach volleyball program since 2016, who will guide the club until Chorkawy officially takes over in early 2022 after her teaching obligations at Acadia University in Nova Scotia ends.
