We are only moments away from the start of the Vancouver Invitational Wheelchair Rugby Tournament. This club tournament is one of the oldest and most prestigious in the province; it has featured athletes like Duncan Campbell (the co-inventor of the sport itself), Trevor Hirschfield (decorated Paralympian and high performance coach), and Daisuke Ikezaki (MVP at the 2018 World Championships).

This year, this tournament is happening at the same time (and in the same building) as the 2020 IWRF Paralympic Qualification Tournament. That tournament features seven teams battling to obtain the final two slots available in the 2020 Paralympics.

Because of the (competing?) wheelchair rugby tournament, the Invitational will largely take place on Court 2. You can follow the action via the weblog, or come out and watch the games live at the Richmond Olympic Oval. Admission is by donation, and the beer garden (proudly sponsored by Haus Beer) opens at 11:30 AM. Come join us!
