Colette McAuley (born May 11, 1973) [3] is a former Canadian rugby union player with 21 caps, including the 2002 Women's Rugby World Cup, during a ten-year career with Rugby Canada. [4]

Rugby career

At the University of Guelph, McAuley played fullback for the Guelph Gryphons. [1] She was also a member of the Ontario provincial team from 1994 to 2007 and was team captain in 2005. [4]

McAuley's first international cap was at a Can-Am test match in Saranac Lake, N.Y. on the 6th of August 2000 [3] under Coach Ric Suggitt. [5] She would spend ten years with the program including participation at the 2002 Women's Rugby World Cup. McAuley played in the 2011, 2003, and 2005 Canada Cups. [1]

For two years, [4] McAuley also represented Canada at international sevens tournaments in Hong Kong, Dubai, and Los Angeles; including winning tournaments in San Diego and Toronto [1]

Coaching and community

After retiring from her international career, McAuley spent a decade as an assistant coach for the Guelph Gryphons before becoming the head coach in 2006. [1] Under her supervision as head coach, the program won eight OUA championships and a national title in 2011. [1]

She runs an athlete-centered program [6] which focuses on technique as much as the psyche of her players. [1] Her ability to develop and spot talent earned her the title of Pathway Coach to National 15's and 7's programs for the past decade [4] including representation as Maple Leafs 7s Assistant Coach at the invitational Las Vegas sevens tournament in 2017. [6]

McAuley has also been a member on the Rugby Canada Board of Directors, Past-President of the Canadian Rugby Foundation, and the Monty Heald National Women's Fund committee member. [7] [8]

Colette McAuley award

The Rugby Canada Foundation honoured McAuley's contribution to the sport by founding an award in her name in 2009. [9] The recipient represents the true spirit of the game and gives back to sport of rugby. As of 2011, the award holder received a $1000 cheque from the Colette McAuley Fund. [9]
