Why play for the ECRSA?

All regular-season games and the end-of-season playoffs will be played at Canada Games Diamond, off Cogswell Street. A schedule of all ECRSA games, tournaments and events can be found online and can be easily transferred to your desktop, laptop, tablet and/or smartphone.

What other events does the ECRSA organize?

We hold an annual tournament in celebration of Pride Week in Halifax (previously known as Kick Off to Pride). This tournament is optional (not part of the regular season play). Also, the very popular Dykes vs. Divas game. We also try to put on social events for players to meet each other.
