Eastern Canadian Rugby Championships Schedule
August 22nd, 2019
(KINGSTON, ON) - The Rugby Ontario High Performance program would like to thank all of the Eastern Canadian Provincial Unions and their athletes for a truly awesome week of rugby at the Eastern Canadian Rugby Championships, presented by Gilbert. With over 750 U16 and U18 men and women competing in 6 days of competition, the level of play and development of our athletes was exceptional.
Mike Curran (Canada U18 Men’s Head Coach) and Ricky Combes (Canada U18 Women’s Head Coach) were on site in an effort to use this major event as part of their identification process for fall camps and winter tours to the United States.
The Rugby Ontario High Performance Program Selectors used the U16 portion of the tournament to evaluate players from the 3 provincial regional programs as they select full Ontario U16 Boys and U16 Girls squads who will represent Ontario on a tour to England in November.
Rugby Ontario would especially like to thank Queen’s University for providing the use of their world class facility for the entire week. Accommodation, meals, athletic facilities and especially the beautiful waterfront (great for team hydro-therapy) made for a memorable experience. Furthermore, Rugby Ontario would like to thank Gilbert for supporting the tournament and to Sportside Medical for keeping all the athletes safe.
For the Jr. Blues Program, the strength of our regional focus was on full display during the week-long event. Over 375 athletes from across Ontario participated in the week long even. “The hard work that our athletes have put in over the last 2 years was on full display.” stated manager of High Performance Paul Connelly. “Improvements in Strength and Conditioning and Core skill development through the ETS S&C Partnership / Provincial 7’s Program and the Academy Winter Development Program, has resulted in much improved game play and a significant decrease in game related injuries.”
The Jr. Blues program will now begin the process of selecting players for the touring sides that will travel to the United Kingdom in November.
