SEASON

Due to the short playing season, practices start the first week of the Fall semester.  Our first match is against teams comprised of fellow law students.

Last year, the University of British Colombia hosted the Western Canadian Law Rugby Championship at the University. The University of Calgary and University of British Columbia's teams took part and played against the Golden Bearristers.

This year the University of Alberta hosts the said tournament in Edmonton, AB. The U of C, UBC and TRU teams will be participating along with the Golden Bearristers. The tournament will take place on Oct. 5, 2013.

The game against the other law schools is just a warm up, however,

for our biggest game of the year- the Alumni Game. The Alumni Game is currently in its fifteenth year. This year's game will be held on October 19, 2013 at the Nor'Westers RFC.

Every year, alumni from all across Western Canada return to Edmonton to take on the current team.  This annual event takes place the weekend following Thanksgiving.  Although the Alumni (The Olden Bearristers) have had more success in the games itself, it is truly a great time had by all, and provides a great opportunity for current members to meet past members.
