What is ULTRA 7'S RUGBY ? 
It is basically is a modified version of rugby 7's using the established laws of the game but adding some North American flavour which will make for exiting, high scoring, first time viewer friendly entertainment. Imagine 60 minutes of this -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZjw-N4zM0g
Here are some of the basics of ULTRA 7's RUGBY:
- each team will be comprised of up to 23 players 
- the game is played in four 15 minute quarters with a 20 minute half time break. There is also a 5 minute break between the other periods.
- random/rolling substitution like in basketball and ice hockey (the precise law modifications in regards to substitutions will be published  in due course)

What are the benefits of ULTRA 7's RUGBY ?
- a high scoring game fast paced game which is relatively easy to understand by non rugby types.
- with the stoppages/intermissions like in ice hockey it is more conducive to a TV audience where advirtising/commercials are of the essence.
- teams have 23 players rather than 12 players involved which of course is beneficial for development of players.There is also now also room for some role /impact players big man in certain situations in a game 
- the coach(es) like in the big 4 North American sports(hockey,baseball, basketball and football) becomes a real personality and has an ongoing impact on the game with his ongoing strategies and match ups.

ULTRA 7'S RUGBY entered into a 3 year major sponsorship agreement with KUKRI which are one of the largest global sports kit and equipment suppliers. YOUNG'S EQUIPMENT (full service HI Case dealer) with 7 Saskatchewan locations along with LABATT who have over 160 years of brewing excellence in Canada have also come on board as sponsors . We believe that these 3 major companies showing their support for this exiting new endeavour is a significant first step in ULTRA 7'S RUGBY development and growth in Canada,USA and around the world.

The inaugural ULTRA 7'S RUGBY game will be played in Regina , Saskatchewan, Canada at 4:30 pm on May 12, 2012 at the Regina Rugby Union Clubhouse and Fields ( 4025 - 25th Ave) between traditional rivals the Wolverines(North Saskatchewan) and the Prairie Fire(South Saskatchewan). The game will be broadcast on the local Access TV network and will shortly there after be online to be viewed around the world. The broadcast crew will be headed up Gareth Rees (www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8_CmuEUIME) who has has worked with TSN and BBC on various international rugby telecasts including a number of Rugby World Cups.For further information please contact Karl Fix at karl_v_fix@hotmail.com

BY DAN OLSON, COQUITLAM NOW

In the Silver State where gaudy is king, Coquitlam's Robin Lowenberger displayed a bit of flash on the pitch.  The Dr. Charles Best Secondary student found himself immersed with a new group of teammates and a new kind of rugby challenge.  When the dust settled at the Las Vegas 7 Invitational tournament, Lowenberger was pretty impressed.  Those who watched the 17year-old fly half were equally impressed.  "It was a blast," Lowenberger said of the tour with the Dog River Howlers under-18 men's team, which gets its name from the TV show Corner Gas.  The 2004-to-2009 series was situated in the small rural - and fictional - community of Dog River, Sask. There is nothing fictional about the Regina-based rugby club, however.The team pulls players together from virtually all points of the nation for national and international tours. It's members include numerous national-level players.Lowenberger, who's played rugby for nearly seven years, approached it like any big event.

"I think I fit in quite well, we had guys from all over the country," he said. "I only knew one person, and I was really nervous about how I'd fit in."The Grade 12 student-athlete is well-versed in rugby, with his father having played for Barbados. He's also played the past few years with the United Rugby Club. Although he considers himself more of a lacrosse player, the physical nature of the grass game remains alluring.

"There's something about rugby that I've always liked, like you are always making tackles and hits."  His selection to the Dog River program kind of came out of the blue.  National team member and Dog River coach put on a clinic for Lowenberger's school team, took notice of the teen's skills and makeup, and saw the basis of a really talented player.  "Robin fits that diamond-in-therough profile, as someone who is raw but extremely talented," noted Dog River coach and player Robin MacDowell in a phone interview from Regina. "He's mature beyond his years and exceptionally talented."

In Vegas, the u-18 recruits were exposed to a high calibre of rugby 7 action. After losing the first two games Dog River bested Pacific Northwest 22-17 in overtime, with Lowenberger setting up the winning try.  In the consolation final, the U.S. All Americans pulled out a 10-0 victory.  "The highlight for me was when we played the U.S. national and lost by 10 points," the teen recalled. "We measured up quite well considering we hadn't played together before. I was quite impressed."  Slotted in at flyhalf, Lowenberger got to demonstrate his strong stride and established himself as someone who could generate a lot of offence.  "He is what I call a 'one-off' in terms of talent and desire," said MacDowell.  "I noticed something about him last spring when I was coaching a [B.C.] session and ID him for our club.

"He's got the game in his blood." Best rugby coach Jun Ishii concurs. At the high school level, Lowenberger established himself early as a player on the rise. In Grade 9, he played a couple of senior games at scrum-half. He also started for Best in the 2008 Valley Tier 2 championship final, showing no fear going against players two and three years older.  "[Robin] is a gifted runner with a good combination of speed and strength," remarked Ishii. "It often takes two or three opponents to tackle him. Defensively, Robin is rock solid."  Going into the Vegas tournament after prepping for the high school season proved to be a huge eye-opener.  "At the tournament, if you're not going full speed you are going to get flattened," said Lowenberger. "At school you see guys with little to no experience- Speed is really important at my position. You have to hit the group and speed through. You can't be going at a jog or you'll get caught."

This new-found success presents an interesting option for the six-foot-one player. Although he considers lacrosse his first sport, Lowenberger is contemplating continuing his education at the University of Victoria, where rugby would play a big role.  It is also where the national program is based.  "That would be pretty high on my list," he noted of playing for Canada. "I put it up there with box lacrosse and playing at the nationals."  MacDowell notes that with rugby's inclusion for the 2016 Olympics, the opportunity is there for the Coquitlam player.
"He's got a bright future in front of him."

The Howlers donated $375 towards the BC Youth Elite Rugby 7's Program who's director is Howlers' Shane Thompson.

Twenty one year old Jared Hendry a student at the University of Victoria is collecting used sports equipment including rugby gear for impoverished children in the Philippines. The concept was "physical activity has been proven to increase youth effectiveness in the classroom by: increasing self-confidence and self-image, enhance creativity and memory, lead to better task performance and concentration, and decrease anxiety and depression". In turn the Howlers donated $250 to this most worthy cause which Jared will use to buy needed sports equipment for this project

“ And Jesus said ……. Rugby ball come unto me”

The Dog River Howler's ( HYPERLINK "http://www.dogriverhowlers.com" www.dogriverhowlers.com) and Rugby Canada's "We Stand on Guard for Thee" initiative to help Huggy raise funds for a new van is just ending its third week of a six week campaign.  The fundraising efforts have surpassed the $15,000 mark thanks to the contribution of many from across Canada.  

As you will see from the list of supporters below, there are some notable Canadian rugby players and administrators that have come forward to support Huggy’s efforts to purchase a new van.  Karl Fix, President of the Dog River Howlers noted that, “Three Canadian national team players – Phil Mack, Nanyak Dala and Hubert Buydens, all who live on their meager carding funding stepped forward for their fellow rugby brother.”  Two of these players were beneficiaries of last year’s We Stand on Guard for Thee program which raised $54,000 to support players participating in the Rugby World Cup.  Fix goes on to state, “It’s inspiring to see that after Canada rallied to support these players in 2011– that they in turn have shown the same consideration and supported a fellow rugby player in need.”

Not only are the national team players stepping up, local rugby clubs are answering the call of support.  Two Saskatchewan clubs, Saskatoon Wild Oats and Regina Rouges have each contributed $500 each to lead the way for other clubs to follow suit.  Following the lead of Shawnigan Lake School, Howlers Dick Cornish, Director of Student Services at Notre Dame College in Wilcox, Saskatchewan have just launched a fundraising effort and encourage other schools to do the same as well.

"I was very pleased to support this great effort by the Howlers to support a great member of the rugby family," said Dr. John Gillis from Rugby Nova Scotia/ Nova Scotia Keltics / Halifax TARS. "I challenge players and clubs in Nova Scotia, Atlantic Canada, and beyond to answer the call to help one of our own in a time of need. I will be asking each club in Nova Scotia to donate or do a small event to help and know others are doing the same across the country"

Balmy Beach RFC, which was the club Huggy was playing for at the time of his injury, has been supportive of Huggy since he purchased the first van back in 1995.  Geoff Reynold, President of the Balmy Beach RFC at the time of Huggy’s injury says that, “unfortunately there is no provision whatsoever for his transportation needs and that’s where we can all help to make a huge contribution to his quality of life and independence.”

It’s encouraging to see national players, rugby clubs, schools and individuals from all across Canada standing behind Huggy as he tries to reach his $50,000 goal by the end of the program.  But we are a long ways from reaching this goal so we’d like to issue the challenge to other groups listed above to join the effort as well.

You can donate two ways; online at  HYPERLINK "http://donate.rugbycanada.ca/e/huggy" http://donate.rugbycanada.ca/e/huggy or by sending a cheque to Rugby Canada at 30 East Beaver Creek Rd, Suite 110, Richmond Hill, ON  L4B 1J2 with WSOGFT in the memo field.  Don’t forget that donations of $250 or more receive a We Stand on Guard for Thee fine art paper print and $500 receive the canvas print.

On Friday March 9th, 2012 the BC Elite Youth Sevens program is going to hold a fundraiser / sevens alumni event at the Vancouver Lawn Tennis and Badminton Club. This event has been spearheaded by Dog River Howlers and BC 7s coach Shane Thompson.  The purpose is to raise funds to help send a BC Youth (U18) Sevens team to Hong Kong on March 19-26th, 2012. The team will compete in a tournament that runs parallel with the annual Hong Kong Sevens and the team will also compete against the Hong Kong Academy program and work with Canada's National team during the week.

A major purpose of this evening is to hold an alumni event for past national team sevens players and introduce them to the BC Elite Youth Sevens program, which is now in its second year and has been a huge success in preparing athletes for the next level. This program has been a privately funded model that with the assistance and support of the BCRU has given many boys aged 13-17 some amazing opportunities and the necessary experience to compete against top international teams.

The British Columbia Elite Youth Sevens teams were unstoppable recently during the 2012 Las Vegas International High School Sevens events.  The BC-1s captured the High School International Sevens title and the BC-3s also won their division, the Vegas High School ‘Open’ Sevens. The BC-2s took home some hardware, winning the Plate against Ontario.  By coming to this fundraiser you will be helping future Canadian Olympians, as programs like the BC Elite Youth Sevens Academy will no doubt help our country have a chance to take the podium as rugby 7s makes its international debut in 2016 at the Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Olympics.  

Spence McTavish and Doug Tate will be hosting the event.  We encourage you to sign up early, as we only have 110 spaces available for the evening.  

Please go to bcrugby.eventbrite.ca/ to buy your tickets and register electronically; it's so easy!

Fundraiser Details: 
Date: Friday March 9th, 2012
Location: Vancouver Lawn Tennis Badminton Club (1630 West 15th Avenue  Vancouver, BC)
Time: 6:30pm – 10:30pm
Cost:$75.00 per person / or $125.00 for two
Tickets: bcrugby.eventbrite.ca/

Kerry Singh, better known to former teammates and friends as Huggy, was a member of the Balmy Beach RFC of Toronto in 1993 when he suffered a spinal cord injury while playing rugby.  The injury resulted in quadriplegia and in 1994 the Balmy Beach Rugby Club, friends and family helped Huggy raise money to purchase a van that could be modified for him to drive.  This helped him improve his quality of life and allowed him to enjoy his independence of mobility, but the van is over 15 years old now and in need of being replaced. The cost of this new vehicle would be about $50,000.

The Dog River Howlers direct contributions of $8,500 combined with the Howlers/Rugby Canada  "We Stand On Guard ForThee " funds for Huggy of  $3,905 gives us a grand total of $12,405. A great start to a most worthy cause! 

As you can see from the below list some very prominent names in the Canadian rugby community have stepped up. Please take the time to spread the word to your rugby network. Particularly noteworthy was that some of  2011 Canadian RWC team members that received some $54,000 last summer from the first Howlers/Rugby Canada "We Stand On Guard ForThee" fundraiser are also participating in the endeavour. That says a lot for these young men because as carted athletes the have very limited financial resources. Hats off also to the Saskatoon Wild Oats who's contribution of $500 will hopefully set the tone for clubs across the country. Please take the time to spread the word to your rugby network and help us stand on guard for one of our fellow rugby brothers and again show that "it's more than a game, it's a way of life"

To add some extra incentive, Rugby Canada and The Dog River Howlers have offered the signature "We Stand on Guard for Thee" prints (see attached picture).  Donations of $250 or more will receive one of the "We Stand on Guard for Thee" paper print and donations of $500 or more will receive a canvas print.  These prints were very popular with the fundraising effort last year and feature signatures of all Rugby World Cup Captains on the back.

Donations made on this secure fundraising page (http://donate.rugbycanada.ca/e/huggy ) automatically will receive an  official e-receipt. If you prefer to send a cheque, please make it payable to Rugby Canada using the acronym WSOGFT in the memo field and address it in the following manner:

Attention: Penny Kroll

30 East Beaver Creek Road, Suite 110

Cheques for the amount of $100 or more will be eligible to receive an official receipt from Rugby Canada by standard mail.
