Edmonton Rugby Union Discipline

Rugby Union is a difficult and inherently dangerous sport. There is ample opportunity for severe injury without adding unnecessary, and undisciplined foul play to our wonderful game. It is incumbent on all spectators, players, coaches, match and team officials to uphold the principles of the sport but this duty cannot rest on them alone. The Disciplinary officers of the ERU play a vital role in maintaining safe and sporting play.

The Edmonton Rugby Union is located within the territories of Treaty 6, 7, and 8 as well as the Métis settlements and six regions of the Métis nation of Alberta within the historical Northwest Métis homeland. We acknowledge and are grateful that rugby throughout all of the Edmonton Rugby Union happens on the traditional meeting grounds, gathering places, and travelling routes of the Nehiyawak, Dene, Nakota Sioux, Saulteaux, Niitsitapi, Tsuu Tina, and Iyarhe Nakoda (Stoney Nakoda). We honour and thank all the many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit who have lived, played, gathered, and whose footsteps have marked these lands for centuries past and will forever more.
