The club is noted as being the first North American team to play in the Rugby Football League system, the first fully professional rugby league team in Canada and the world's first transatlantic rugby league team. Their home stadium is Lamport Stadium (aka "The Den"), which is just a couple blocks from where Gord and I live.
Today the Wolfpack were playing the York City Knights. Going into today's game, the Wolfpack was in first place (23 - 1) and Y was fighting for second place.
It was a warm sunny day ... 24C.
Here are Gord and I ...
Sher and Lil are sooooo strong!
Usually there is a guitarist who plays when the Wolfpack score ... today it was this guy.
Jefferson, the Wolfpack mascot, is pretty strong too!
Gordo, the Wolfpack's second "mascot" was around today too.
The York City Knights had a fairly vocal fan base at the game.
The Wolfpack had clinched first place and received the Betfred Championship League Leaders’ Shield in an away game ... here are the Wolfpack Dancer Squad with it.
