So, what prospects for Canada Rugby now? Things have been on the slide for a long time...
Toronto Arrows, Canada's lone Major League Rugby team, cease operations
The Toronto Arrows, the lone Canadian entry in Major League Rugby, are closing shop.
Major League Rugby said in a statement Monday night that the Arrows "will cease operations, effectively immediately, and not compete in the 2024 MLR season."
The league said it and the Arrows "explored all avenues in an effort to maintain the club's presence in the league. Unfortunately, after exhausting all options, Toronto was left with no choice but to voluntarily withdraw from the league."
Arrows co-founder Mark Winokur called it "a very sad day."
"A lot of people put a lot of work into this. It's extremely disappointing," said Winokur, the team's former GM who still has an ownership stake in the franchise.
