Ryerson Varsity

The team will be comprised lightweight and open men's and women's eights, coxed fours, doubles and singles. The season runs from September through early November, and culminates with the Canadian University Rowing Championships (CURC) in St. Catharines.

In addition, men’s and women’s varsity development and novice eights are selected from students who have never rowed before but who are interested in entering the sport. These crews train and travel on the same intensive schedule as our experienced boats, and our top men's and women's development boats -- dubbed Varsity "C" -- compete at major regattas from Pittsburgh to St. Catharines.

Head Coach Dominic Kahn has been rowing for 25 years and coaching for 18. He has coached on Canada's National Team and is currently the Head Coach for Bayside Rowing Club. Some of his former athletes have won Olympic and World Champion medals and he brings his experience and enthusiasm to Ryerson University.

Bayside Rowing Club has hosted Ryerson Rowing in 1996 and 1997 as an intramural sport. This year Bayside is partnering with Ryerson University to provide rowing as a "club" sport. We recognize our athletes as students first. Our boathouse is only 15 minutes from campus by bike, which makes it unique among universities in Canada. Its close proximity is good for time management and sleep!
