History
The Canucks Rugby Club, is an established club that has been playing in Calgary since 1968. The Canucks were originally formed to provide a uniquely Canadian aspect to the game. The Canucks mandate was to provide a strong, competitively tough team on the field and a definite camaraderie and distinct social atmosphere that fosters friendship, local contacts and enjoyment.
The club successfully continues to pursue those objectives and is well known throughout the province as a serious, well prepared team that is perennially in the top tier of every division. It welcomes all members into its varied and unique social circle.
The Canucks have senior sides in all three divisions in the Calgary and Alberta (Provincial) leagues and are historically some of the strongest in the province, placing all three divisions in the city finals in each since 1999.
In addition, they have an Under U17/U18 team, Under 15, Under 13, Under 11, Under 9, and in 2016 a U13/U15 girls side. The Canucks Junior sides comprise close to 200 players every year, with a season that runs from the first of April until the beginning of October.
