Hamilton Hornets RFC Statement

Dear Hornet Membership, Supporters, Family and Friends,

On behalf of your Hornet Executive Committee we would like to provide our membership an update on the club and our plans regarding the current COVID-19 situation.

The Executive team have been conducting meetings via teleconference throughout the current situation and have explored many different options around returning to play. Today we would like to inform you of how we will be moving forward.

Rugby Canada has informed its members that it is highly possible there will not be any sanctioned rugby played in the 2020 season by any team.

Rugby Ontario has recently moved to Phase 2 of its return to play plan which can be seen here. (https://www.rugbyontario.com/return-to-play/)

As a club we have made the difficult decision to not resume a return to play in any form in the 2020 season.

We value the safety of each and every member of our family and as such we feel with the short time remaining in this season and with no games to be played, the potential risk is far too great to our membership.

The executive committee is currently working with Rugby Ontario to become fully sanctioned to resume play for the 2021 season and we are very excited to see everyone at the club in the new year.    

Please feel free to reach out to any member of your executive team if you have any questions.

Take Care and See You Soon!
