Spartan Men's Volleyball: All Time Team CIS Only

August 16th, 2010: Langley, BC

Heading into the 2010-2011 Season with all the excitement that lays ahead it is also important to remember where this program has come from and what has led it to where it is today. With that in mind below we will look at the All Time Spartan Team from only the CIS period of the program. While there may be a number of CCAA players who would be considered and even being on the All Time Spartan Team it is difficult to compare the eras.

Process: We will list the nominees with strengths and weaknesses followed by the selection and the rationale for why they were selected. This team will be much debated and hotly contested but that only furthers proves the strength of the alumni and current players of Spartan Men's Volleyball.

The legacy at Spartan Men's Volleyball is deep as evidenced by the above information. Choosing these teams is difficult and deserves much debate. What is not debatable is the talent that has come through the halls of David E. Enarson Gymnasium (now Langley Events Centre). The Spartan legacy is in great hands with the players of tomorrow and in a few years time who knows how these teams may change as more banners and individual accomplishments are added to Spartan Lore.

Go Spartans!!!
