Vincent Massey teacher Kelly DeRoo has been named the Manitoba High Schools Athletic Association’s female high school coach of the year.
DeRoo was presented with the 2026 Grey Cup Legacy award on Tuesday at the MHSAA’s annual general meeting in Brandon.
DeRoo coached for a year in Baldur prior to a move to Massey in 2010. She coached the Vikings junior varsity girls volleyball program from 2010 to 2022 before taking over the varsity girls team, and also coached badminton at both schools.
In addition, she coached at volleyball camps in Brandon and Neepawa and is director of the Bobcats volleyball camps this year. For the past three years, she’s served as an assistant coach with the Brandon University women’s volleyball program and is now interim head coach.
Three other awards were also handed out:
• 2026 Grey Cup Legacy male high school coach of the year.
— Scott Kirkpatrick of Maples Collegiate.
• Frank L. McKinnon Award for outstanding contributions to high school athletics.
— Scott Gurney of Lord Selkirk Regional Comprehensive Secondary School in Selkirk.
• Nick Laping Leadership Award, for lifetime of service and outstanding contribution to high school athletics.
— Marvin Gundrum of Prairie Mountain High School in Somerset.
