In 1998,
Rugby Canada and the provincial unions agreed to form the
Rugby Canada Super League. Fourteen unions and sub-unions were invited to compete in the new semi-professional league. The league is deemed semi-professional because some of the smaller clubs are paying foreign players to play for their side. However, the vast majority of the domestic players actually pay to play for their team. The Prairie Fire is by far the most liberal user of foreign professional players. In 2009,
Rugby Canada decided to disband the RCSL and replace it with a new U-20 league called the
Rugby Canada National Junior Championship. The Prairie Fire were chosen as one of the remaining RCSL clubs to enter the newly formed league. ==External links==
