Eric Loeppky (born 1 August 1998) is a Canadian volleyball player and member of the Canadian national team. He represented Canada at the 2024 Summer Olympics.

Career

Loeppky started playing volleyball at a young age and helped lead the Steinbach Regional Secondary School Sabres to their first AAAA provincial volleyball title in 2014, the top high school league in the province of Manitoba. After high school he went to play volleyball with the Trinity Western University Spartans. Loeppky joined the men's national team and helped the team to qualify for the 2024 Summer Olympics at the 2023 FIVB Volleyball Men's Olympic Qualification Tournaments. Following his qualification to the Olympics, he told CTV Winnipeg that it was his childhood dream come true, saying that "for it to finally be true is pretty surreal. Reflecting on all the time and hours and money and just energy put towards this thing, it feels like it just all came together in this one game. It was pretty, pretty special."

Personal life

He is married to American national volleyball player Samantha Seliger-Swanson and they live together in Italy with their family where Loeppky plays professionally.
