50 years of history. A new look for what comes next. 🏉

We are excited to officially reveal the new Canton Rugby Club logo!

As we celebrate our 50th year, we wanted a logo that honors where we’ve been while representing where Canton Rugby is headed. From our youth players just picking up a rugby ball for the first time to our Women’s and Men’s teams carrying the Canton name onto the pitch, this logo represents ONE CLUB.

A huge thank you to Hailey Gray for working with us to bring our vision to life and creating a logo that we are so proud to call ours. You took our ideas and turned them into something that represents the past, present, and future of Canton Rugby!

New look. Same history. Same community. Same Canton Rugby.

We’re incredibly excited for this next chapter — and we hope you love it as much as we do!

Welcome to the next 50 years of Canton Rugby. ❤️🏉

What an incredible way to celebrate 50 years of Canton Rugby!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our 50th Anniversary Golf Outing and Banquet on August 15th. It was amazing to see current players, alumni, families, friends, and supporters come together to celebrate 50 years of rugby, friendships, memories, and community.

A huge congratulations to our 2026 Canton Rugby Hall of Fame Inductees — Chad Menegay, Tim Donnelly, and Gary Smith! Each of you has made a lasting impact on this club, and we are so proud to recognize everything you have given to Canton Rugby over the years.

We also want to give a huge thank you to Arrowhead Golf Club for hosting our golf outing and La Pizzaria for hosting our 50th Anniversary Banquet. And, of course, thank you to every person who volunteered, planned, donated, helped behind the scenes, or simply showed up to celebrate with us. We couldn't have done it without you!
