The Trent Excalibur men’s rugby team has a new head coach.
Eric Noyes has been named to the role after spending the last three years as the assistant coach of the Durham Lords men’s rugby team. As assistant coach, he led the Lords to back-to-back Ontario Colleges Athletic Association championships in 2018 and 2019, adding a bronze medal in 2021.
Director of Athletics and Recreation, Deborah Bright-Brundle, his knowledge and experience in the different levels of rugby development only adds to the competitive program being built.
Noyes says he feels it is incredibly important to position the rugby program in such a way that current student-athletes treat the program with a professional attitude, and for new players, to understand that by choosing Trent, they’ll be choosing a program that takes their development seriously.
