tomorrow (Thursday)

Thursday

No official schedule yet, but the first official games of the season will start in April. Stay tuned! — Seattle Seawolves (@SeawolvesRFC) September 28, 2017

[ed. we've been informed the official announcement coming next Tuesday so we'll revisit this early next week. Stay tuned...]We're expecting a big announcement from the Seattle SeawolvesTuesday. It involves a couple of BC rugby personalities in a coach and player/coach role. One current player who, let's just say, could be considered the most popular player in Canadian rugby right now, noticeable by his absence on the recently announced Canada A trip to Uruguay. Also a coach who is starting to make a name for himself in BC but hasn't been offered much from Rugby Canada as far as we know, this will be a good pathway for him to greater things.The Seawolves already announced Curry Hitchborn as Director of Rugby Development, tomorrow's announcement will highlight the Canadian talent that is being recognized south of the border. Rugby Canada often bring in expertise from outside the country while our own BC talent is prized elsewhere, in this case in the emerging professional ranks in the USA, it's rewarding to see.So we'll leave this here, with more onTuesday.
