Toronto Arrows News Release
TORONTO, ON - The Toronto Arrows are pleased to announce initial details surrounding the 2023 season schedule for its Senior Academy program.
The Young Arrows will kick off their 2023 fixture list with a home clash against the Quebec Senior Men on Saturday, April 15, before battling the Atlantic Selects the following weekend. Both domestic tilts will be played at York University's Alumni Stadium and will serve as curtain raisers for the Senior Team's MLR matches played later in the day.
Later this spring, the Academy will get a rematch with the Quebec Senior Men in Montreal ahead of games against the New York Selects, BC Bears, and the Atlantic Selects; the latter two fixtures will occur during the second annual installment of the Coast to Coast Cup in Halifax.
Confirmed pitch locations and kickoff times for all matches in May and June will be announced in the coming weeks.
Per the club's mission to build a nationally-recognized talent identification and development program that fuels the sustained success of the Senior Team and rugby in Canada, the Academy's 2023 training schedule kicked off in January, with under-18 to under-23 athletes training regularly at regional sites in Ontario (Guelph) and Quebec (Montreal).
