Three locals named to Dodgeball Canada posts
WINDSOR — Dodgeball Canada has announced that Windsor’s Jeremy Renaud has been appointed to the role of General Manager for Team Canada.
As part of Renaud’s role, he will be responsible for overseeing the team’s participation at Nationals (June 16-19, 2022) and Worlds (August 28 to September 4, 2022), which will take place at the Saville Community Sports Centre (The University of Alberta).
“We are thrilled to welcome Jeremy to Dodgeball Canada,” says President Duane Wysynski. “Jeremy has already been playing a dual role on both the national team side and tournament one as Canada prepares to host both events in Edmonton this summer.”
Renaud comes from an extensive background in sport at the regional, provincial, national and international level, both as a past multi-sport athlete and current sports administrator.
Renaud is currently a Professor of Sport and Recreation Management within the Zekelman School of Business & Information Technology at St. Clair College, the Esports Coordinator under Student Success & Leadership Centre at the University of Windsor and General Manager for Canada’s National Sports Card & Memorabilia Expo. In his spare time, he volunteers in the local area sports community through to the MLSE Foundation.
Renaud will also be joined by two local area students, Leamington’s Eric Dominguez and Windsor’s Christian Oomen, both students within Renaud’s sport and recreation management classes at St. Clair College.
Eric Dominguez will be interning at Dodgeball Canada as a marketing and operations coordinator to support National and World events, while Oomen will be the Assistant to the General Manager with direct involvement in Team’s Canada participation at both competitions.
“It is very exciting for us to provide unique opportunities for these students to gain experience in their fields toward their pursuit of securing meaningful career opportunities as future sports’ administrators,” says Wysynski, who also doubles as President of the World Dodgeball Federation.
