Ontario Blues Men’s Program

The goal of the Sr. Blues program is to  provide an elite development opportunity for Rugby Ontario Men that bridges the gap between the U19 Blues and the Toronto Arrows/Canadian National Senior Men’s Program.  This is a high performance developmental team that will focus on players who have the potential to play rugby at the next level. (Toronto Arrows/Canadian National Senior Men’s Team) All players must participate in the Rugby Ontario Senior Leagues and be in good standing with both club and province. The focus will be U-25 (with exceptions). Elite Ontario University and College Players would be encouraged to participate.

This year, the Sr. Blues will represent Ontario at the Eastern Canadian Championships that will be held in Halifax, Nova Scotia from June 27^th -30^th

Ontario Blues Women’s Program

Starting this season, the Ontario Sr. Women’s program will be divided into TWO REGIONS: Ontario West and Ontario East. The goal, for the shift to a regional approach is to increase the scope of the program as a whole, allowing more women the opportunity to compete at the provincial level, while developing through enhanced training touch points. All of this while reducing the cost associated with program through travel and time commitments. The training and competition schedule is directly aligned with the NSWT competition calendar. The “One Calendar” approach will give our athletes their best chance to go from “Blue” to “Red”.

The two regional programs will be comprised of athletes who have graduated from the U18 Blues program. After two months of regional training and intra-regional competition, TWO TEAMS will then be selected (Ontario and Ontario Developmental) who will represent Ontario at the Eastern Canadian National Championships that will be held in Quebec City from June 7^th -9^th.
