The first rugby tournament of the season goes Saturday, April 8, in Strathomore with the annual "Ice Breaker" tournament.

The Highwood Mustangs boys and girls squads will be there.

Girls Coach Bill Young says he has a more veteran team heading into this season.

"When you really look at it, after last year we had lot's of grade 10's and lot's of grade 12's. Now this year we have lot's of grade 11's and lot's of grade nine's. Lot's of girls to play rugby and hopefully they'll continue with it."

In all Young has 38 girls on the squad this year.
