Happy National Coaches Week!

Saskatchewan Rugby would like to spend the week highlighting coaches in our community with a great big !!

Alyx Nurkowski

Rugby Teams Coached: U of R Cougars, Prairie Fire Women, RMR

Years Coaching: 5

What inspired you to become a coach?
"I had such inspiring women coaching me as I came up through rugby. Their guidance, encouragement, and leadership showed me the impact a coach can have. I also wanted to grow and support the community that gave so much to me as an athlete. "

What do you enjoy most about coaching?
"Seeing athletes build confidence, develop new skills, and achieve their goals is so rewarding. I also enjoy how much I've learned from every single athlete I've coached as well."

Athlete Testament:
"Alyx is a positive role model for our athletes as a coach, player, and volunteer when needed. She shows up for her community and exemplifies lifelong dedication to sport. She's created opportunities for university women across the prairies through the Prairie University Women's league and continues to market, recruit, and support this league as well as senior women's ruby in the province as a whole. She not only positively impacts the people around her, but she builds up the sport of rugby. She is diligent and has taught me that if there isn't an opportunity out there for you, go create it."

Alyx!

Rufas Crawford

Rugby Teams Coached: Swift Current Ardens, Meadow Lake SheDevils and El Diablos, Team Saskatchewan U16/U18, and various travelling teams that have gone to Las Vegas, Newfoundland, Kamloops, and Edmonton. I started a First Nations rugby program and hosted the first rugby game ever played on a First Nations reserve.

Years Coaching: 18

What inspired you to become a coach?
"I had never heard of rugby and the rugby environment was something that I had never experienced in any other sport. I was easily convinced to come out to a rugby practice. A few weeks later, at the age of 30, I played my first rugby game. I often asked myself "Where has rugby been all my life? How is it that a sports fanatic like myself had never heard of rugby until I was 30?" That's when I decided to become a coach. I had to spread the rugby gospel. I have to introduce rugby to as many people as possible."

What do you enjoy most about coaching?
"I love seeing athletes come out of their shell. They gain confidence, they become leaders and sharing that journey is priceless. I also love the long-term relationships that are built with athletes. Former players that I haven't seen in years will stop me in the grocery store and thank me for coaching. I have former athletes who are now coaching and that has come full circle for me. I wanted to show rugby to as many people as I could. Now those people are introducing rugby to a new generation."

Athlete Testament:
"Rufas pushes everyone and helps all athletes strive for greatness. He travels as far as he can all over Saskatchewan to promote youth rugby. He is an amazing and positive person who I believe would do anything for rugby and his athletes."

Rufas!

Ryland Gibb

Rugby Teams Coached: College Ave Crush (Miller/Balfour)

Years Coaching: 2

What inspired you to become a coach?
"The want and need to grow rugby in Saskatchewan. Inspired by the many coaches I have had in my 14 years of playing rugby."

What do you enjoy most about coaching?
"Seeing a team go from a bunch of people who play together into a big family."

Athlete Testament:
"Ryland always gives knowledgeable feedback in a positive and easy way. He's confident and without him I wouldn't know as much about the game."
"Ryland has been more than just a coach by helping players with gear and equipment when needed, taking time from his day to help not only his players but anyone else that needs help. He's committed and taught me that there's more to being on a team than just winning."

Ryland!

Danette Senterre

Rugby Teams Coached: Kirin, Prince Albert Panthers

Years Coaching: 10

What do you enjoy most about coaching?
"I love coaching because I get to stay actively involved with rugby (without having to experience the recovery required when playing the game). I meet the most impressive people as a rugby coach. The best part of coaching is seeing the athletes develop as individuals and the team develop as a successful working unit. This inspires immense enjoyment for the sport and builds team cohesion, camaraderie, and lifelong friendships."

Athlete Testament:
"Danette has believed in this team and everyone as an individual since day one. She believes anyone can contribute on and off the field, and she gets players to give 110% when they think they only have 40% left. She leads with positivity and understanding and she teaches us to show up not only for ourselves but for our team. If we can all show up together we can achieve great things."

Danette!

Dave Hughes

Rugby Teams Coached: Campion Grads, RMR U16 Boys/Girls

Years Coaching: 32

What inspired you to become a coach?
"Rugby has been a part of my life since I was 12. The coaches, teammates, and volunteers who shaped me made a huge impact, and coaching is my way of giving back. I want young athletes to have the same positive experiences I had growing up."

What do you enjoy most about coaching?
"Watching players grow on and off the field. Seeing confidence build, teamwork develop, challenges overcome, and leaders emerge is the best part. Wins are great, but the relationships, lessons, and community are what make coaching meaningful."

Athlete Testament:
"Coach Dave has taught me for 10 years. He is always patient and happy to explain things I probably should have already known. He taught me everything I know and grew my love for rugby, not dulled it. He is kind and his biggest lesson is "safety first"."

Dave!

Levi Moore

Rugby Teams Coached: Notre Dame Hounds, Regina Monarchs, University of Regina Men's 7's, RMR, Dog River Howlers

Years Coaching: 20

What inspired you to become a coach?
"Above all else, it's the love of the game and the community that comes with it. In terms of getting into coaching itself, it was the mentorship and coaches that I had when I first started playing that peaked my interest in learning more and ultimately getting into the coaching side."

What do you enjoy most about coaching?
"Seeing athletes not only experience success on the pitch but seeing them succeed off the pitch. Often times in coaching the focus is solely on game performance and the human element can be overlooked if expectations aren't met. Coaching all different age groups and being able to play a role in how athletes develop and grow as players and as a person is the most rewarding aspect. The connections I've made with individuals through my coaching career has impacted my growth in ways that I can only hope has also impacted the athletes I've coached along the way."

Athlete Testament:
"Coach Levi has coached mt for any years on and off the field. He has made all ten years of rugby fun! He helps everyone at the same time as well as takes the time to teach people one on one. He tells us to "Go out, play hard, but most importantly, have fun!""

Peni Lutudromu

Rugby Teams Coached: RMR, University of Regina, Team Sask U16/U18, Prairie Fire, Dog River Howlers, Campion Grads, Regina Ravens, Prairie Islanders

Years Coaching: 18

What inspired you to become a coach?
"The players. I love watching them build confidence, develop their skills, and become leaders. Rugby has given me so much and coaching is my way of giving back."

What do you enjoy most about coaching?
"It's the people and the journey. Championships are great, but seeing players grow and accomplish things they never though possible is what makes coaching special. The friendships, culture, travel, and memories are what I'll always value most."

Athlete Testament:
"Coach Peni positively impacts our team by correcting our mistakes but also makes any environment he's in fun. He is funny and outgoing and has taught me accountability, how to have fun playing rugby, and to be kind."

Peni!

Saskatchewan Rugby is deeply saddened by the passing of Bill Brennan. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his wife Julie and son Casey and to the entire Campion Grads Rugby community during this difficult time.

Bill Brennan was one of the first people inducted into the Saskatchewan Rugby Hall of Fame on April 27, 1991 as an Administrator for his outstanding contributions to the growth and development of the game of rugby.

As the legend is told, on a cold December night in 1977, Bull met along with 5 other original Campion Grad players at the Halifax Museum to discuss the possibility of starting up a new rugby club in Regina. From that meeting the Campion Grads evolved into what it is today. Bill had a generous heart and kind soul. He was a mentor to many people throughout his career as a teacher with the Regina Catholic School Division and throughout his life in all the sports and activities he was involved in, which included softball, curling, team handball, hockey, Rams and Hilltops Football, Campion Grads Rugby, Team Saskatchewan Rugby, Royal Regina Golf and the Regina Association of Basketball officials.

A celebration of Bill’s life will be held at the Regina Rugby Club, 4025 25th Ave, Regina, SK on Friday September 18th, 2026 at 6:30pm.
