ODSS Bears Rugby

Generations of Bears made it back to ODSS today to say goodbye to Stephanie Dodd ❤️🐻🏉

Hey former Bears!
Some bittersweet news to share.

Steph Dodd will be leaving ODSS next year to continue her career in Guelph at GCVI.

If you're in the area, stop by at unch on Friday in the double gyms for a surprise goodbye.

Hoping to get some former players to pop by and give their regards.

You can message me back if you need any details.

Today’s result:

Covid: 10

The Bears will hope to return to the pitch next week healthy and ready to go.

Undefeated tourney for the Bears today as 4 different rookies scored tries for us including Gr 9 Olivia MacLeod with 2 tries versus John F Ross.
Bears played like beasts today and we’re ready for the D10 opener Tuesday vs Shelburne.
Go Bears!!!!!!

After almost 3 years, it feels great to say: it’s Game Day! Let’s go Bears!!!!!

We're back!
🐻🏉

It is with great sadness that we inform you of the passing of former Bear Ashton Kimberely. Ashton passed away on May 21st at the age of 23. She was a valued member of our 2011 & 2012 team. Please keep Ashton’s family in your thoughts as they go through this difficult time.

Ashton played lock in Grade 9 and even started our lone playoff game that year. In 2012, she was a member of our D10 championship team. Her grit and tenacity on the pitch served her well for the many challenges that life sent her way. Once a Bear, always a Bear and we feel lucky to have known and fought alongside Ashton.

Due to Covid 19, there will be no visitation or celebration of life at this time. Ashton will be laid to rest at Forest Lawn Cemetery. Donations can be made to Family Transition Place on behalf of Ashton.

Ashton is survived by her son, Luka.

Happy birthday to this warrior: Eryn Bonney-Brookman! A little birdy told me that she was now playing flanker....

The 2019 season is done and now it’s time to hand out some hardware:

Our MVP is Rebecca Hodder and our Sportsmanship award goes to Lily Burgess.

Lily also wins the Campus Life award, just like her big sister, Evelyn Burgess, did 6 years ago.
