The 2018 Rugby Rampage was a smashing success! Excitement filled the air on Day 1 as this year’s Rugby Rampage would serve as the first competition of the season for most teams. From the opening whistle, it was readily apparent that the MedStar Punishers would be one of the top teams of this round-robin tournament. As the first day rolled on, the Monttawa squad and Oscar Mike Militia would show everyone that they were also in the hunt for the trophy. The most intriguing match of the day was the battle between Oscar Mike and Monttawa, with the Militia coming out on top, 50-44.
On Day 2, the Punishers took on Monttawa in a match that would decide the tournament champion. Although they kept it close early in the match, Monttawa eventually fell to the superior MedStar Punishers squad, 54-43. The Punishers would eventually finish the weekend undefeated and take home the crown.
The most noteworthy match of Day 2 was Oscar Mike vs. the Connecticut Jammers. Being relatively new, the Jammers were having a difficult time against more experienced teams. In a great show of sportsmanship, the teams agreed to play a mixed-squad match as the Oscar Mike players helped the Jammers improve their game. It was the closest contest of the weekend as Oscar Mike won 47-46 on a last-second goal by Connecticut’s Joe Stone.
We were thrilled to bring you into this year’s Rugby Rampage and share with you the excitement of this competition. We can’t wait to do it again and look forward to seeing you all next time!

Our first webcast was a success!
Our very first webcast, the 2017 Kennebunk Savings Rugby Rampage, was a success! Although Day 1 had a few bumps along the way, our crew pulled together and smoothed out the ride on Day 2. A big thank you goes out to everyone who tuned in online. We hope you enjoyed watching the event as much as we did bringing it to you. We even had people watching overseas!
The tournament was fantastic, as the sound of colliding rugby chairs filled the venue Saturday and Sunday. Congratulations to Montréal Quad Rugby for winning the competition! For a full recap of the weekend, check out the story by our friends at Athletes Roll.
Overall, the weekend was a thrilling ride for all of us and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. Many thanks to Northeast Passage for giving us our first gig. We are grateful for their faith in us to produce a quality webcast. We would also like to, once again, thank all our crowdfunding supporters. Without your belief in ParaSportsLive, none of this would have been possible. THANK YOU!
Although our first event is in the books, our mission to change the game on adaptive sports has only begun. We can’t wait to get back out there and bring more adaptive sports to people around the world. See you again soon!
