The Hornets’ Premiere Women’s Division holds the 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2016 Provincial Championship title and is by far the strongest team in the province. Our U15 girls are the 2017 Provincial Champions, U15 Boys are the 2017 City Champions, both girls and boys U17 are the 2018 City Champions, and our U18 Girls are the 2016 City and Provincial Champions.

The Hornets strive to broadly promote the sport of rugby in Calgary and Alberta, develop competitive rugby players who wish to play rep-level rugby, including the Canadian National team, Canada 7s, Rugby Alberta, Prairie Wolf Pack Rugby, CIS Rugby and the Calgary Mavericks. We also aim to develop our strong and thriving club, through player development and commitment, encouraging our members with a passion for sport to share it with the Calgary community
