Hello Ryan, We have sent you the article that was published below as well as updates with links and analytics with several emails and we have offered you a refund. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just Launched Wheelchair Rugby and the Fighting Squirrels Team on Indiegogo (PRESS RELEASE)—November 20, 2014— It is a mix of rugby, basketball and handball. It’s not a riddle—it’s Murderball. Also known as Wheelchair Rugby today. From its humble beginnings in Winnipeg, Canada in 1977, Wheelchair Rugby is now being played in over 40 countries worldwide. The Fighting Squirrels is a Wheelchair Rugby team based in Ontario, Canada that is also helping spread more awareness about the sport today. It is also primarily a non-profit organization committed to the development of Wheelchair Rugby in Ontario. It facilitates training sessions, hosts tournaments, and supports the expansion of the quadriplegic sport throughout the province. Ryan Doyle, President and General Manager of the Fighting Squirrels, have launched an Indiegogo campaign to help raise funds for his organization. The campaign runs from October 17 to December 16, and aims to raise a total of $25,000. “We are raising funds to help with equipment cost, wheelchair rugby chairs, facility rental, tournament fees, traveling costs, and other team expenses,” says Doyle. He adds, “Contributions will help all athletes involved with sport gain independence and new skills to use in their everyday routine. They build strength and endurance that helps with day to day activities away from the gym, and also provides a competitive sport to be involved with.” Wheelchair Rugby is a mixed-player full-contact team sport played by athletes with physical disability. It is played by two teams of up to 12 players, with only four players from each team able to play on the court at any time. Players compete to carry the ball across the opposing team’s goal line. Contact between specially designed chairs is permitted and is in fact essential in the sport for blocking and holding opponents. Doyle shares, “Most people are aware of or heard of wheelchair basketball. The athletes that play wheelchair rugby don’t have the proper hand, core, or shoulder function to play wheelchair basketball at a competitive level therefore either don’t play a sport or join a team but watch from the bench. Wheelchair Rugby provides those athletes a chance to play. The skill level is just as high, with the distinction being that too much hand, core, or shoulder function will class out a player.” According to Doyle, those who are eligible to play the sport are those who have disability which affects the arms and legs. These may include spinal injuries with full or partial paralysis or the legs and partial paralysis of the arms. Other disabilities include cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, amputations, polio, and other neurological conditions that render a person quadriplegic. Doyle and the rest of the Fighting Squirrels hope that through the crowdfunding campaign, they can also extend their goals and offer team merchandise to hand out especially to Indiegogo backers. By supporting the campaign, backers will have an open invitation to come to the Fighting Squirrels practices to watch and meet the players, have pictures taken, and get autographs as well. Aside from this, backers will also get team supporter plaques, signed photos, “Murderball” movie DVD copies, team logo jerseys, or become a staff for one day.
