'Love of the game': These athletes travelled a long way to represent Nunatsiavut at Canada Games
It can be tough to travel in and out of northern Labrador. It's weather dependent, and the flights are expensive. But Jacob Dyson of Makkovik and Ian Dicker of Nain make it work. They both made the lineup for this year's men's volleyball team, getting the opportunity to not only represent Newfoundland and Labrador, but also Nunatsiavut during the 2025 Canada Summer Games in St. John's. "It was a bit of a ruckus trying to get off the coast with the weather and everything else," Dyson told CBC News on Tuesday, shortly after Team N.L. opened up the week of men's volleyball against Team Saskatchewan. The duo met through the sport six years ago. Dicker said volleyball is a popular sport throughout all six Nunatsiavut communities, where children get an early start in the game. "Now we're here," he said. "Just for the love of the game, we started trying out. Coaches noticed us, and we made it this far." But making the roster was a tall order which both competitors took in stride. Accomplishing their goal wasn't easy, and they're soaking up the atmosphere. "[It was] a big relief making it over 80 other athletes. Only the top 12 make the team, so it's exciting," Dyson said. "There's a lot of people, it's overwhelming, but it's also exciting to be around so many athletes." And although the sport is popular on the north coast, it's difficult to access coaching, Dicker said. He and Dyson have to fly to the island for a few days at a time to train. "It's been like that for two years, constantly leaving home, two flights, $2,000 every time," he said. Now with the obstacles out of the way, Dyson and Dicker are ready to represent the Big Land. Dicker said experiencing it together makes the Games even more special. "Jacob is like my best friend. He's been there since day one of the journey," he said. "It's great to have him by my side. I love him."
