Senior Women Rugby (18+)
The Canucks Senior Women Program is our most recent addition to our club, forming in 2022. While the Senior Women haven’t been around for long, they've quickly built a competitive, positive and welcoming program. The Senior Women have achieved significant success in their short time and are always looking for new players to continue to build a foundation of Women’s Rugby at the Canucks.
We field two Senior Women’s teams in the Alberta Premier Women's Division (1) and the Senior Women’s Developmental Division (2). Both our teams function as one club and offer a variety of competition for players of all kinds.

We encourage all our players to be available for as many games as possible, but we understand everyone has lives, jobs and other commitments, especially throughout the summer season in Calgary. There’s no mandate to play all the games in any division and we accommodate player’s other commitments throughout the season.
Please note, cost should never be a barrier to play and we have many resources to help alleviate cost concerns. If payment assistance is required, please contact us
