Previous Indigenous Athletes of the Month

Indigenous Athlete of the Month for August: Torrence "Tory" Gamblin

Tory is a dedicated young Cree athlete who continues to grow both on and off the volleyball court. Over the past year, she earned a bronze medal in 17U beach volleyball at the 2026 Manitoba Indigenous Summer Games with the OCN Panthers, helped OffSpeed Volleyball Club earn a third-place finish at a 17U tournament, and was invited to the Team Manitoba Gold Identification Program. She was also selected to play 18U club volleyball with OffSpeed for the 2027 season and attended a women's volleyball prospect camp at Ripon College in Wisconsin.

Beyond her athletic accomplishments, Tory gives back by coaching younger athletes and volunteering at Indigenous youth sporting events. As Miss Opaskwayak Indigenous Days Princess 2026, she has also used her platform to speak about the experiences of Indigenous athletes and the importance of creating more opportunities for Indigenous youth.

Tory stays connected to her culture, family, and community while balancing athletics and school, and she is a great example of how young Indigenous athletes can pursue their goals while staying connected to where they come from.
