Saskatchewan Prairie Fire
Rugby team
The Prairie Fire was a Canadian rugby union team based in Regina, Saskatchewan. The team played in the Rugby Canada Super League and the Rugby Canada National Junior Championship, which followed once the former was disbanded. The Fire drew most of their players from the Saskatchewan Rugby Union, one of fourteen Rugby Unions that had representative teams in the RCSL.
The Prairie Fire played their home games at Regina Rugby Park in Regina.
The Prairie Fire were Western Champions for the 2005 and 2006 seasons, but both times came up short in the Super League Final versus the Newfoundland Rock, once in Regina and once in St. John's, Newfoundland, at Swilers Rugby Park. They won the MacTier Cup at Regina Rugby Park in 2007 defeating the Niagara Thunder, 28–12.
These were three of five times that a team outside of British Columbia has been the Western Champion of the RCSL; the other two times were by the Calgary Mavericks in 2003 and 2008.
