Wednesday January 28
According to the Google today is National Kazoo Day. Now you might think that the Kazoo is only used in childrens songs and clown acts, but artists like The Grateful Dead, Eric Clapton, and Pink Floyd have used Kazoo’s in their music. It’s even on Spotify. I searched for Kazoo music today and found 4 songs, so today while you transition to classes after birthdays, you’re going to hear The Final Countdown on Kazoo.

Registration info:
Here is the link to the PlayHQ registration for the Developmental Academies: https://www.playhq.com/ca/rugby-canada/register/eb379d
This is the link you'll need for athletes who also need a membership: https://www.playhq.com/ca/rugby-canada/register/f28e0a
Select either the non-contact minor or junior (depending on their age) 4 month membership option.
Athletes must be registered as a member and must register for the specific "group"/academy location that they want to attend. This will be two separate steps and two separate payments. In addition, if someone is already a PEIRU member (perhaps they participated in Rookie Rugby) they will be prompted to "claim" their profile after they create an account in PlayHQ.
