History
Originally active between 1996 and 2005, the Pacific Pride program was developed as a U-23 academy to support the development of young players in Canada. David Clark was the inaugural head coach of the program. The original incarnation of the Pacific Pride program was run by Rugby Canada and the Commonwealth Centre for Sport Development.

The Pride was resurrected in 2019 as a high-performance development academy intended for players between the ages of 18 and 24.
