Bearcats Hungry

The CBC Bearcats begin a new era in Abbotsford with new head coach Kyle Pankratz. He will try to instill a culture of winning and development.

In their first two matches this season the Bearcats are 1-1 after winning a thrilling five-set match over the Douglas Royals and are hoping to use that momentum for the rest of the season and continue to be competitive.
