We're pleased to announce our Mini and Youth Coaches and Reps for the 2026/2027 season!

Our Mini Rep and Coach, Donovan, has been the heartbeat of our rapidly growing Minis program. From early Sunday practices and planning jamborees to helping ensure our program continues to grow, Donovan does it all. We couldn't be more thankful for everything he brings to our Minis!

Next up is our U14 Girls Coach, Stephanie! Stephanie has worked alongside Donovan with our Minis program in previous years and is now moving up to help grow and develop our Youth Girls program. We are excited to have her leading the U14 Girls this season!

Our U14 Boys Coaches, Connor and Brendan Allan, are up next! Both Connor and Brendan have grown up as Bruins and continue to give back to the club by coaching our U14 Boys. They were a pivotal part of our Youth program last season, and we are excited to see them continue their hard work this year!

Our Youth Rep and U16 Boys Coach, Malcolm, has been a backbone of the rebuild of our Youth programs since COVID. He continues to pour his heart into the game of rugby and the Bruins, and we couldn't be more thankful for everything he has done to help rebuild and to continue to grow our Youth program.

Corbin is back this season after coaching the U16 boys last year. We’re excited to have him continue working with our U16 Boys and helping develop the next generation of Bruins!

Last but not least, we have our U18 Boys Coaches, Danica and Derek! You might notice some new faces, and we are excited to welcome both of them to the Bruins coaching team. We can't wait to see what they accomplish with the U18 Boys this season!

A huge thank you to all of our coaches and reps for stepping up and giving their time to help grow the next generation of Bruins. We can't wait for the 2026/2027 season!

We’re beyond excited to announce our Head Coaches and Men’s Rep for our Men’s Division 2 team for the 2026/2027 season!

We’re incredibly grateful to have these two back on the sidelines, bringing their experience, passion and knowledge to our team!

And of course, meet our Men’s Rep, Sid! Sid is the one working behind the scenes to keep everything running smoothly! From game sheets and game-day coordination to making sure the team can practice and play week in and week out.
