    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.

    17th Annual Mike “Buca” Lundberg Tournament

    In 2004, the Mike Lundberg Memorial Tournament started as a fun opportunity to play winter rugby for men and women of all skill levels while donating 100% of the proceeds to help defray the costs of Mike’s treatments. Sadly, Mike lost his long battle with Leukemia in 2008. At the request of his family, we have continued the tournament to celebrate his life and help a member of the Minnesota rugby community in need. 

    The tournament will be held at Hoffman Park in River Falls, WI on Saturday, March 7th, 2020. Registration begins at 9:30 and the cost is $35 per person. This includes a tournament T-shirt and food and beer at the social after the tournament. Please RSVP by February 17th via our Facebook event or by emailing Ben Hanson at lhprop1@hotmail.com.
