Just hours after signing with the red-and-whites, middle blocker Jackson Howe shares his thoughts. The Canadian international is thrilled about the deal with Cucine Lube Civitanova and feels ready for a brand-new adventure in the toughest league in the world. He has already excelled at home, as well as in France and Germany, making a name for himself on the international stage.

“Each league has helped me grow in a different way,” he said. “In Canada, I built a solid foundation for my game and understood what it means to represent my country. In France, I found the right motivation to lead a professional lifestyle on a daily basis, both physically and mentally. Germany unlocked a sense of freedom and joy in my playing style. I hope to bring these experiences to Lube, along with a strong work ethic and a mindset that always puts the team first!”
