Taking over the head coaching position in 2025, Jack Tyrrell has been with the Blazers volleyball program since 2017 when he began his studies at CMU. After four seasons as a player, Tyrrell shifted to a coaching role, drawing on his deep knowledge of the game and analysis abilitities to work with the program's players in practice and game preparation. As a student-athlete, Tyrrell captured three MCAC titles, and then as an assistant coach helped the team to earn the first ever berth for a Manitoba school at the CCAA Men's Volleyball Nationals in 2022. Working under the mentorship of Don Dulder, Jack has seen the Blazers program continually build and claim MCAC and CCAA success, having been instrumental in the team's success at the 2025 CCAA Nationals, where the Blazers became the first ever MCAC team to win its opening match at the tournament and earn a spot in the national semifinal.

Outside of CMU, Tyrrell has also coached with Team Manitoba as a 17U boys Provincial Development Coach in the summer of 2024, as well as at the high school level with his alma mater Linden Christian School Wings teams. Tyrrell is currently finishing a Masters of Science in Community Health Science at the University of Manitoba where he is studying sports-related injury in youth with a heavy concentration in pediatric concussion care, specifically in relationship to volleyball.
