The Chuckanut Bay Rugby community has another reason to be proud as three of our very own alumni are making waves on the global rugby stage. Jack Wendling, Ben Broselle, and Jake Broselle are currently representing the USA Men's Sevens team at the HSBC SVNS tournament in Perth, Australia. This remarkable achievement showcases the strength of Chuckanut's player development and the opportunities our club provides for aspiring rugby athletes.
Jack Wendling: Leading by Example
Jack Wendling, a standout from Chuckanut and Central Washington University, has been named co-captain for the squad in Perth. Jack's leadership and skills on the pitch continue to impress, and his journey from our club fields to the world stage is an inspiration to all Chuckanut players.
Ben Broselle: A Welcome Return
Ben Broselle, a seasoned USA Sevens veteran, makes his return to the squad following an injury layoff. Perth marks his first 2024-25 SVNS tournament, and his presence brings experience and firepower to the team. Ben's resilience and dedication are testaments to the hard work instilled at Chuckanut.
Jake Broselle: Poised for His Debut
Jake Broselle has traveled to Perth as a reserve, ready to step up should the opportunity arise. If called upon, Jake could make his National Team debut, an exciting prospect for Chuckanut supporters who have followed his journey from youth rugby to the international arena.
HSBC Sevens World Series: A Global Rugby Spectacle
The HSBC SVNS Series is a premier international rugby sevens circuit, featuring the best teams from around the world. With a fast-paced, high-energy format, it offers a thrilling showcase of rugby talent. For the USA 7s Eagles, competing in this series is crucial preparation for the upcoming Olympics and a chance to test their mettle against the world's elite.
Chuckanut Pride on Display
Having three players from our club competing at this level speaks volumes about the rugby culture and development programs at Chuckanut Bay Rugby. Our commitment to fostering talent, providing top-tier coaching, and offering pathways to higher levels of competition continues to pay off. It is a monumental achievement for Chuckanut to see our players wearing the USA Eagles jersey and competing on the international stage. This success validates the dedication of our coaches, volunteers, and community members who have supported these athletes from their first days on the pitch. Seeing Jack, Ben, and Jake perform at the highest level is not only a source of immense pride but also an inspiration for our current and future players, demonstrating that with hard work and commitment, anything is possible.
We also look forward to the chance to see the three of them play in the upcoming Vancouver 7s tournament scheduled the weekend of February 21st this year at BC Place, a mere 40 minutes from our pitch. This will be an incredible opportunity for Chuckanut supporters to watch their hometown heroes in action and cheer them on in person.
We encourage all Chuckanut supporters to follow the USA 7s team in Perth and cheer on Jack, Ben, and Jake as they represent not only their country but also the proud rugby tradition of our club. The Vancouver 7s tournament will provide another fantastic opportunity for our community to witness their talent firsthand and celebrate their success together.
