"Glenn has successfully worked with the program as a coach since 2006 and resuming duties as head coach will ensure continuity until Tokyo 2020," said Julien Boucher, Volleyball Canada’s indoor high performance director. "The next 18 months will be an exciting time for the men’s program."

Hoag began his coaching career in 1993 with the University of Sherbrooke, and then, while still at Sherbrooke, he started coaching at Paris Volley in France. His highlight during his tenure in Paris was in 2001 when the team won the French Cup, the French Championship and the European Champions Cup.



Glenn was also an assistant coach for the French National Team from 2001-2004, and coached the ACH Team in Slovenia from 2008-2010 winning the Slovenian Championship, the Slovenian Cup and MEVZA in both 2008 and 2010. He coaches the Arkas Sports Club in the Turkish city of Izmir, winners of the Turkish Cup in 2011 and the Turkish Championship in 2011, 2013 and 2015.

In 2016, Hoag was awarded the Geoff Gowan Award by the Coaching Association of Canada in recognition of a lifetime contribution to coaching development. He is also a member of the Volleyball Quebec and Volleyball Canada Halls of Fame.
