The Dog River Howlers RFC ( www.dogriverhowlers.com) (http://www.facebook.com/dogriverhowlersh ) today announced their final side (U-18 men) for the Stampede 7's in Calgary, Alberta on July 6 and 7 that includes 7 first time Howlers. Last year the the U-18's came in second to the highly rated Celtic Barbarians, an invitational select side bassed out of Aberta. Joining the coaching staff for the first time will be Tyler Leggatt who heads up the very successful Ontario academy 'Upright Rugby" which numerous Howlers have been part of. This will now make 34 players from 8 provinces that have been part of this U-18 youth side since their first competition which was the 2011 Las Vegas Invitational. Almost all of these players have represented their various provincial age grade teams with Andrew Bataglia, Lucas Hammond, Matthew Heaton, Patrick Kay, Jon La Placa and Monty Tichowski having had the honour of representing Canada.
Including all all teams (women, men, men's U-18 and men's U16) the Howlers have had 142 part of 7's program since 2009 when they played in their first tournament at the ALBA Games in Cuba. Although an exact record was not kept of the 15's players that have been part of 5 tours/tournaments since 2007 when the club was founded it would be safe to say that would add up to another 100 or so players. Of these 250 players who have played with the club over the years 25 men and 8 women have also represented Canada in either or both 7's and 15's on the senior level with 2 more representing Chile and Fiji. We have also had the honor of having the man they call the "King Of Sevens" Fiji's iconic Waisale Serevi play for our club.
However the thing that our club is the proudest of is the some $350,000 they have helped to raise for many worthwhile causes, both rugby and non rugby related.You can read more about this on both our club web page and/or facebook page.
The Howlers will also have their inaugural U-16 men's team competing in an international youth 7's tournament in Heidelberg, Germany on July 23 and 24. This team is also listed below.
