BC Bears U19 Men’s team will head to Ontario this summer as the Men’s Under-19 Canadian Rugby Championship returns after a two-year hiatus.

Rugby Ontario will host the 2022 Championship, taking place July 31-August 6, at the University of Guelph.

“It’s exciting to welcome back the Men’s Under-19 Canadian Rugby Championship after a two-year break,” said Rugby Canada Managing Director Dustin Hopkins. “We are looking forward to a memorable return to competition and thank Rugby Ontario as well as the University of Guelph for their commitment to this year’s event.”

2019 Champions Atlantic Rock join BC Bears, Ontario, Prairie Blizzard, Alberta and Quebec as the participating teams for this year’s edition of the Championship. This year’s tournament schedule will be available once confirmed.

“Rugby Ontario is excited to host the 2022 U-19 Men’s Canadian Rugby Championship at Guelph University,” said Paul Connelly, Rugby Ontario Provincial & High Performance Programs Technical Manager. “After a two-year hiatus, the top players from across the country will be competing not only for a National Championship, but also for potential selection to the Canada U20 program. The foundation of Rugby Canada’s “Return to Play” begins here.”

Further information on BC Bears U19 Men’s ID sessions will be released in due course.
