Excitement is in the air as all Bow Valley rugby teams gear up for the opening of the club season, with both youth and adult squads starting on the road.
That includes the Division 2 Bow Valley Grizzlies, who are in Red Deer to challenge the Titans.
Tyler Hawes, head coach of the Men's Division 2 Grizzlies, says they've been warming up for the season at the Mitford Park pitch after training indoors during the off-season.
"The boys are ready and raring to go. We've got a few new guys, and I think they're excited to get it going."
The Grizzlies head to Lethbridge the following weekend before their home opener at Mitford Park against the Irish on May 24.
The Division 3 Babas, formed by Bow Valley and the Foothills Lions, have also returned to the pitch. They open their season at Mitford Park on May 23 against the Calgary Hornets.
