__NOTOC__The Ottawa Wolves is a Rugby Union Football Club for men and women in Ottawa - Canada's National Capital Region. == History == The Ottawa Wolves RFC was founded in 2008 by Carl Pilon and Jay Smidt, both Hero award recipients, with the mission to promote and encourage participation in rugby among those who have traditionally been under-represented in the game, with an emphasis on gay men. Though predominantly gay, the team is inclusive of everyone, regardless of sexual orientation. The club played its first game in October 2008 at the inaugural Dirty Rugger Tournament, where they tied the Muddy York 5-5. The following year, the Ottawa Wolves joined both the Ontario Rugby Union and the International Gay Rugby Association and Board (IGR), and played their first season as the only team in the EORU Mens Division II developmental league. In a 7-game season against teams in Mens Division I, the Ottawa Wolves finished with 513 points against, and 0 points for. The Ottawa Wolves' first league try, scored by Danny Donnini, came in their 2009 playoff game against the Barrhaven Scottish III. The team's first victory came on August 1, 2009 against the Muddy York in Montreal. Shortly afterward, the club followed that victory with their second against the Ottawa Senators RFC. In 2010, the team participated in a rugby match with the Muddy York during Pride Week. The historic match was played on the main lawn of Parliament on August 28, 2010.〔 〕〔 〕 Expanding on the success of the men's side as a community fixture, the Wolves' women's side commenced its inaugural season in the spring of 2013. As a gay-identified team, The Ottawa Wolves have participated in Capital Pride since 2008. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ottawa Wolves RFC」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
