Eric de Nys to Lead High Performance Program Through Milano Cortina 2026

Eric de Nys will bring his extensive experience working with Canada’s Nordic sports to the helm of Nordiq Canada’s high-performance program, taking over from Shawn Bullock who will be departing Nordiq Canada, effective Oct.16th.

Eric’s extensive coaching experience, technical expertise, and proven track record working with the nation’s best cross-country skiers at all levels in Canada speaks for itself. From coaching and athlete development to creating a positive team environment at major international competitions, Eric has been a mainstay of the Canadian High-Performance program. Nordiq Canada is thrilled that he has stepped up and accepted the opportunity to be the Acting High-Performance Director in an environment he is very familiar with through Milano Cortina 2026.

In this new position, Eric will be responsible for all aspects of program delivery including: goal setting; monitoring daily training; developing long-term performance planning; budgeting; managing the Integrated support teams; relationship building and team leadership.

As originally planned, Nordiq Canada will complete a fulsome recruitment process in the spring for a permanent High-Performance Director.

Please join us in congratulating and welcoming Eric into this important leadership position.
