We are pleased to announce the continued partnership between Raymond James Ltd., Lougheed Wealth Management of Raymond James, and the Canadian University Men’s Rugby Championship (CUMRC).
The 2024 Championship will be hosted by the University of Ottawa from November 13 to 17 at Matt Anthony Field. Once again, the tournament will feature eight teams from across Canada.
“As the CUMRC continues to grow and draw more young athletes to the sport, we’re thrilled to have the steadfast support of Raymond James and Lougheed Wealth Management,” said Maria Samson, CUMRC Board Chair. “Their commitment to university rugby in Canada is a testament to the shared values of teamwork, resilience, and ambition that rugby instills. Together, we’re paving the way for a stronger future for Canadian rugby.”
“We are excited to participate in a great championship weekend,” said Dave Lougheed of Lougheed Wealth Management of Raymond James. “As a former player, the lessons I learned from rugby have been instrumental in my personal and professional journey helping clients. We wish all the players good luck for a successful championship.”
Founded in 2017, the Canadian University Men’s Rugby Championship was created to not only fill the gap in terms of a national championship with representation from all parts of Canada, but also to support the growth of men’s rugby at the university level by increasing student-athlete numbers, expanding the number of teams, and driving audience engagement.
