Tyler Hotson ’03 and Conor Trainor ’07
Rugby World Cup Tyler Hotson ’03 and Conor Trainor ’07 did the School proud as they represented Canada at the recent Rugby World Cup Final in New Zealand. One of the highlights was Canada defeating Tonga in their opening match. Both Tyler and Conor played in the match and had an enormous impact on the final result. Conor came on in the second half and went on a strong run, breaking a few tackles on the way. His run switched the momentum back to Canada’s favour. Tyler, playing in the pack, helped set up the winning try by clearing out the favoured opposition from a fiercely contested ruck near Tonga’s try-line. The final score was 25 for Canada and 20 for Tonga.

While at St. George’s, both of these young men excelled in many areas of school life. Tyler was the classic all-rounder. He was a double Rigg Scholarship winner in Music and Ceramics, and played Varsity Hockey and 1st XV Rugby as a Grade 11 and 12 student. Conor’s accomplishments were also impressive during his time at Saints. He was runner-up for Sportsman of the Year and played 1st XI Soccer, Varsity Basketball, and 1st XV Rugby in Grades 11 and 12—a very difficult task. Conor is currently attending Western, while Tyler is playing professional rugby in England. In Tyler’s most recent correspondence with the School, he indicated that he attributes his current success with his past experiences at St. George’s, beginning at the Junior School where he learned to play rugby. As well, he sends this message to current boys at Saints: “I hope they are watching the games and believing that they too can play for Canada and professionally too.”
