From August 3–8, Rugby Alberta’s Wolf Pack U17 men’s and women’s teams travelled to Vancouver Island for a week of competitive rugby against strong opponents from BC and the UK.

The Wolf Pack Women began their tour with a 5–20 loss to BC in their opening match. They bounced back to put up a strong fight in their second game, narrowly falling 17–19 to BC in a closely contested battle.

The Wolf Pack Men kicked off their trip facing Whitgift School, a respected UK touring side, in a fast-paced match that ended 22–35. They then squared off against BC, concluding their tour with a 19–33 result. Across both games, the men’s squad showed steady improvement in attack and team structure.

Both teams showed great effort, resilience, and progress over the course of the week. The experience gained on Vancouver Island has the Wolf Pack coaching staff excited for the continued growth of these young athletes as they prepare for the season ahead.

A special thank you goes out to the families, supporters, and Rugby Alberta staff whose dedication and hard work made this tour possible. Their support continues to be vital to the success and development of our Wolf Pack athletes.
