Beth Vinnell was a force to be reckoned with this season on the CWDino 16U Red team. She helped her team win an AVA Provincial Championship as well as capturing a silver medal at the 16U National Championship.

| Reid Brodie recognized as the 2012 Mikasa Coach of the Year (16U) |
 |
|
Reid Brodie was honored with the 2012 Mikasa Achievement Award, Coach of the Year. Reid Brodie began the 2012 club season as head coach of the Dinos 16U Red team, however was forced to transition to assistant coach halfway through the season because of the birth of her first daughter, Collins. At this point, Chad took over as head coach, and the team went on to capture the Alberta Volleyball Provincial Championship. The team went 55-6 on the season – including exhibition, AVAs, Best of the West, VC National Championships, and came up only one point short of winning the National Championship in Toronto. |
