CAPILANO RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
Proud Sponsors of the
John “Stormy” Salkeld Exchange Program
Since the 2001-02 season the CRFC Alumni Association has formally sponsored an exchange program between the Capilano RFC and various New Zealand rugby clubs in the memory of John “Stormy” Salkeld, who was a proud member of both the Capilanos and his home club, East Coast Bays RFC of Auckland, New Zealand. The Alumni Association has raised and contributed over $27,000 since the formal inauguration of the program [a reciprocal but informal player exchange between the Bays and Capilanos existed long before 2001], which now includes sending both men and women players to East Coast Bays and Glenfield RFC [also of Auckland], respectively.
The intent is to select candidates who will benefit from both the athletic and personal experiences gained from being involved in rugby in New Zealand, and who will positively represent the Capilanos, both on and off the field. While the program is aimed at the younger, developing players, it is open to all club members, including coaches, trainers, and Capilano-sponsored referees. In addition to helping sponsor players to travel “down-under”, the Capilanos continue to welcome players from East Coast Bays, and hopefully this year, Glenfield, to play a season with the Caps in North Vancouver.
