Alexa Lea Gray[2] (born August 7, 1994) is a Canadian volleyball player. She is part of the Canadian women's national volleyball team. Professionally, she plays for the Turkish club Eczacıbaşı Dynavit.[3]

Personal life

[edit]

Gray attended high school at Centennial High School in Calgary.[4] She began playing volleyball in sixth grade and played for Calgary Dinos women’s volleyball club and helped them to U15 and U17 provincial champ titles and U16 and U17 national champ title.

She also played rugby and basketball in high school.[5]

Gray has attributed her motivation to her late mother, Stacey French. Her mother was also an athlete and played basketball at Southern Utah. When Gray was 13, she and her older sister Jordan Gray survived a car accident that claimed her mother's life. While driving from Montana, an elk struck the car, causing it to roll several times.[6] Gray's father, Evric Gray, played basketball at UNLV and is a high school basketball coach.[7]

Gray is a Mormon, and opted to attend Brigham Young University to play in college.[6]
