We also participate in 2-3 local bonspiels throughout the season.

The StFX University Rowing Club is a developing program whose objective is to support, promote, and advance the sport of rowing within both the university and surrounding community.  The Club is based out of Antigonish. StFX Rowing has progressed to become a competitive program and continues to develop elite athletes that compete on both the provincial and national levels.

The StFX University Rowing Club is a competitive team that follows intensive training schedules, but as a club, we receive limited funding. As our yearly funding constitutes a small fraction of the operating costs, we must raise our own funds to buy equipment and cover travel expenses. Individual athletes currently cover all their own regatta fees and travelling costs. As a club, we are a student run organization, which is self-administered by our own student executive in addition to our studies and training.

Football has had a long and distinguished history at Maritime Universities. Until the 1950’s rugby was the principal fall sport, but this changed when Football was adopted as the primary sporting activity in 1958. The myths and rumours of how rugby started again at StFX have been lost in the mists of time and hallways of academia. But what we do know is that in 1967, rising from those mists like the kilted heroes of his homeland, university professor Ed Carty stepped into the role of Head Coach of the StFX Rugby Team. Later joined by another professor, the always eloquent Derek Wood, StFX Rugby developed as a “Club Sport”.
