Wikipedia - Chicago Hounds (rugby union)
The Chicago Hounds are a professional rugby union team in Major League Rugby (MLR) based in Chicagoland. The team was founded in 2022 and is co-owned by a small group of investors including majority owner Peter Bernick and part-owners (and longtime Chicago rugby players) Matt Satchwell and Phil Groves. Their home stadium is SeatGeek Stadium in Bridgeview, Illinois. Games are broadcast on Marquee Sports Network.
History
On November 17, 2022, Major League Rugby announced the Chicago Hounds as the newest expansion franchise to begin play in 2023, following the discontinuation of the MLR franchises in Austin and Los Angeles. The Hounds compete in the Western Conference. Their first game was against Old Glory DC on February 18, 2023. The Hounds finished their inaugural season ranked 5th among the 6 teams of the Western Conference and 9th among the 12 teams then in MLR. Of their three wins that season, two were against the Dallas Jackals in a rivalry match dubbed the Dog Bowl.
The team's colors are navy blue, light blue, and white, and their logo features a fierce hound with a rugby ball in its mouth. The Hounds are known for their physical and aggressive style of play, with a focus on strong defense and powerful forward play.
The Chicago Hounds have a strong roster of talented players from around the world, including seasoned veterans and up-and-coming stars. The team is led by head coach Scott Lawrence, who has a wealth of experience coaching at both the collegiate and professional levels.
Off the field, the Hounds are committed to giving back to the community and supporting local charities and organizations. They also have a strong fan base, known as the "Hound Pack," who are passionate about the team and its success.
Overall, the Chicago Hounds are a dynamic and exciting rugby union team that is making a name for itself in the competitive world of professional rugby.
