Wrestling Canada Lutte is deeply saddened by the passing of Doug Corbett, a respected coach, educator, mentor, and leader whose lifelong dedication helped shape wrestling in British Columbia and across Canada. As a past President of the BC Wrestling Association, Doug devoted countless hours to growing the sport and creating opportunities for athletes, coaches, and officials.

His impact extended far beyond competition, touching the lives of generations of athletes and helping foster a welcoming and supportive wrestling family. His leadership, generosity, and passion for the sport leave a legacy that will continue to inspire those who follow in his footsteps.
