Regina Highlanders Rugby Club

The Regina Highlanders Rugby Football Club formed originally as the Cherry Lifesavers Rugby Club in 1988. They compete in Division I of the Regina Rugby Union and the Saskatchewan Rugby Union, with teams at the senior, junior, and high school levels. They have won two provincial championships, the most recent in 2005 under head coach Paul Robson from Scarborough Rugby Club in Scarborough England,

and in 2001 under head coach Matt Grimison of Sydney Australia. Their tours have included numerous trips to Edmonton for the world famous May Long Weekend Rugby-Fest, several trips to the northern United States, and a tour to Denver Colorado in 2001 where they defeated the Denver Highlanders by over 50 points, proving there can be only one. In 2007 they traveled to Lethbridge Alberta for Troll Fest in March, and came back with 2nd place. A group attended several matches of Rugby World Cup 2007, hosted by France and another pack will be making the trip to New Zealand for RWC 2011. The team motto of Commitment, Sacrifice, Teamwork and Victory was coined in 2006 and seeks to reinforce the values that are required of Highlander players. Commitment to the team. Commitment to fitness. Commitment to fun. Commitment to each other. Sacrifice of self. By becoming a part of the team players are given opportunities for fitness, camaraderie, and accomplishment. They are expected to make the sacrifice of time and sweat to earn these accolades. No man can accomplish by himself what he can as a part of a team. The Highlanders are not a showcase for superstars, they are a hard working group of individuals committed to the team. Victory. As Vince Lombardi once said, there is no greater feeling than lying exhausted on the field of battle, victorious. This creed is personified in numerous elite players such as Drew Kendal, in such HRFC alumni as Dwayne Lamontagne, Leonard Rogochewsky, Mike Richardson, Team Canada Captain Mark Lawson and in the youth of juniors like Nolan Hall, Kaelen Toews, Geovanie Sparvier, Austin Russell, and Steven Stadnyk. Each year, the Highlanders strive to solidify a place of dominance in the Saskatchewan Rugby Union and continue to grow the club through its commitment to youth development, player development, and the development of the sport of Rugby.
