    20th Mike “BUCA” Lundberg Tournament this weekend (Sat. 3/9/24)

    Come out and help support the local rugby community.

    Gopher Drones will be there streaming the matches.

    The tourney is an open co-ed tournament hosted by the St. Paul Jazz Pigs where teams are picked at random, so showing up with your team, a couple friends, or by yourself is totally an option! We recommend bringing all your friends though, it’s just more fun that way.

    Cost is $50/player and registration is from 9-10AM. This is a charity tournament and we don’t keep any of the profits. Fees get you a tournament shirt, and cover the field, refs, food and drink at the social, and goes to support the family of Josh “Screech” Thesing, who was tragically killed in a hit and run in 2022.

    Players: If you intend to come to play, please select “going” and not “interested” so we can have a good headcount on how many shirts to order. It is played outdoors in the snow, so dress up in your finest warm clothes, that you can still kind of run around in.

    Spectators: Also come dressed for the weather, but the casual stand around type of winter gear would be fine. $30 gets you food and drink at the social following all the matches. Please select “interested” so we can have a good headcount for food.

    Happy New Year!

    Hope all piggies and company are having a safe and happy new year!

    A few friendly reminders:

    Our annual general meeting (AGM) will be held at Halftime Rec on Thursday January 11th at 6:30PM.

    The AGM is where we discuss the ups and downs of last season, and decide what direction we want to go this season. It is also where we elect board and officer position for the coming season. Piggies old and new are encouraged to attend!

    The meeting will be held in the basement at Halftime, so you will need to bring your own chair. Also I’m not sure if it is heated, so dress accordingly.

    2024 marks the club’s 50th anniversary!

    Check out our 50th anniversary page for all of the fun events we have planned!

    The pigs come out HOT!

    You would never know that it was only 30° outside, as the pigs came out hot this match. Scoring four trys accompanied by four conversions, resulting in a comfortable 28-17 lead at the half.

    Unfortunately the laws of thermal dynamics kicked in, and, well, a picture is worth a thousand words.

    This concludes the Pigs 2023 season. But don’t turn that dial!

    2024 is going to be a very special season, as it’s the Pigs 50th anniversary! To celebrate there will be special events, an international tour, and more. Stay tuned!
