After more than 15 years with Cycling Canada, Dan Proulx, the Head Coach of the Canadian National Cycling Team, is moving on to a new position as the High Performance Director with Triathlon Canada, according to the national cycling federation.

Dan Proulx has had a long tenure with Cycling Canada, starting as the team manager for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. He became the full-time MTB coach in 2009 and later took on the role of head coach of the national team in 2021. Over the years, he has been involved in various capacities, contributing to the development of cycling in Canada.

In a release, Cycling Canada said that under Proulx’s leadership, athletes achieved notable success, including world championship titles and medals at the Paralympic and Olympic Games. He won the Petro-Canada Coaching Excellence Award four times and played an important role in developing Canadian coaches. His focus on both athletic performance and personal growth has had a lasting impact on the organization.

“2024 marked 20 years of working with Dan Proulx for me,” national team coach and four-time Olympian Catharine Pendrel. “From my early days as an athlete, to Olympic and championship medals and then my transition to full-time coaching, Dan has been there every step of the way. He has had such a huge impact on me and my career. He has led us with belief in our abilities, passion for coaching and empowerment. He will definitely be missed!”
