Club Statement: 2022 Preseason Schedule Update

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TORONTO, ON – The Toronto Arrows announced today that the team’s preseason fixture against the University of British Columbia Old Boys Ravens has been cancelled.

The indoor exhibition match against the British Columbia Premier League side was originally slated to be played in Oakville on Saturday, January 29.

“After reviewing the updated provincial health guidelines that were recently announced by the Ontario government, and with the understanding that these guidelines will remain in effect until at least January 26, both teams agreed that cancelling the game out of an abundance of caution was the best course of action,” said Mark Winokur, Toronto Arrows Chief Operating Officer and General Manager. “We appreciate the Ravens’ willingness to aid us in our preparations for our 2022 Major League Rugby season, and we’re hopeful to shift this fixture to our 2023 preseason.”

The Arrows’ preseason match with Old Glory DC on Friday, January 21, which will be played at Old Glory’s training venue (The St. James) in Springfield, VA, is proceeding as planned.

The club will begin its fourth campaign in North America’s top-flight professional rugby league with a road match against the Seattle Seawolves on Sunday, Feb. 6, 2022.

2022 season ticket memberships are now on sale. Packages for the club’s seven Toronto-based home matches at the 4,000+-seat York Lions Stadium start at just $70.
