Don and Mylène Saxton, both former Canadian National Team players, founded Canuck Stuff Volleyball Club in 1988. The Club originally had one senior women's team and one senior men's team, and competed very successfully in Canadian and international tournaments (winning 7 Canadian Open Championships and one U.S. Open Championship). After several years of trying to find gym space throughout the city, they opened the Volleydome "bubble" in 1994 as a space designed specifically for volleyball.
In 1997 Canuck Stuff added youth teams who practiced out of the Volleydome space. Canuck Stuff Volleyball Club is now directed by Brian Gullekson and a volunteer Board of Directors. It currently holds 17 National Youth Championship titles plus dozens of Provincial Championship titles, including an amazing 16 championship titles in 2004.
At the start of 2018 the second Volleydome, known as Volleydome GYM ('Get Yourself Moving'), was opened just north of Calgary. Both facilities are still owned and managed by Don and Mylène, these days with additional support from their children (Milou, Ben, Camille and Dustin), children-in-law (Tom and Nadyne), as well as a team of dedicated, experienced, and extremely talented coaches and staff.
