Eight Howlers (see below) will be part of the Shawnigan Lake First XV that have been invited to compete in the 16 team Sanix World Youth Rugby Championship (U-18 high school) being played from April 28 to May 5 in Japan. Each team is nominated by their country's rugby union so for all extensive purposes it serves as the world high school rugby championship.
In 2012 the Shwanigan Lake Stags were also the Canadian representatives to this prestigious tournament. That year they came away with a 4 and 2 record including a 17 - 14 win over New Zealand's Kenston Boys, their countries reigning school boys champions.
Shawnigan Lake School over the years has also been very supportive of a number of the Howlers fundraising endeavours including purchasing a van for a cancer patient, upstart Afghanistan rugby and helping purchase a wheelchair accessible van for quadriplegic former rugby player. Obviously for them "it's more than a game, it's a way of life".
All the best to all 8 Howlers and the entire Stags team representing Canada in Japan !!!
Oh Canada and Howuuuuuuuuuu !!!
