The team is the first and only group from BC to win a National Men’s Gold Medal. This came at a time when the National Club Championships were considered the most prestigious and most difficult tournament to qualify and ultimately win in Canadian volleyball. The team, led by coach Brian Watson was the perfect compliment to a revamped BCO squad coming off a silver medal in the 1976-77 National Championships. The following year the team would go on to defeat Saskatchewan in the semi-finals and Manitoba in the finals to capture the 1977-78 Canadian National Men’s Championships.
