Pack is Back
March 31, 2021 - North American Rugby League (NARL)
Toronto Wolfpack News Release
Your Toronto Wolfpack is back and under the guidance of a new private investor group who have purchased the intellectual property assets. There is no tie to the previous ownership and our owners are now simply "Team Wolfpack".
We will focus on our fans, our team and the City of Toronto not the ownership team. As of today, our decision is to play rugby league in North America this will hopefully make all our future games more accessible and affordable to everybody who wants to be a part of our journey.
Our season together starts this year as we are proud to announce we have joined the new North American Rugby League "NARL". Where we will be playing some amazing teams in some awesome cities across North America creating some great new rivalries.
NARL has the full support of the Canada Rugby League Association "CRLA", chairman Bob Jowett had this to say "The formation of a North American professional Rugby League competition has long been discussed and is considered to be a key progression for the sport. For such a competition to grow and thrive it is essential that strong links are built with grassroots organizations developing community Rugby League. A condition for teams to join the NARL is for them to support grassroots development. This being the case, the NARL not only offers opportunities for players, player and coach development, and the Americas national teams (including the Canada Ravens and Canada Wolverines) it also promises to significantly help with growth of grassroots Rugby League. As a result, the CRLA is fully supportive of the NARL and looks forward to working with the organization to maximize grassroots development including non-traditional versions of the sport such as CANTAG (non-contact), Masters, Wheelchair, Physical Disability in addition to Women's, Men's and Junior Rugby League."
While we will not erase any of the fantastic, historic and positive achievements of Wolfpack, Team Wolfpack promises that together we will make new great memories on our journey together.
The team has a lot to do putting together the front and back office, but we will keep everybody up to date on a regular basis via social media.
