The Winter Olympics are set to start next week on the 12th of February until the 28th of February and Canada are expected to win a number of gold medals. What will give the athletes inspiration to perform to the best of their abilities is the lighting of stadium torch and Westmount rugby will have a massive part in the lighting of the Stadium torch. Westmount’s starting hooker Tim Fagan helped design the winter Olympic torch.
Westmount rugby has a number of great traditions like the first rugby club in North America, Thu rsday nights at the old cock n bull and now a hand in the Vancouver Olympic games.
The torch took about 4 months to design and the design is based on two main inspirational ideas: the sweeping, undulating, white winter Canadian landscape and elements of winter sports.
It is also club folklore that Tim’s first thought in the design of the torch was “it’s a torch and it must be held.” It is with this insight that has given Tim his position as Westmount’s starting Hooker 
The countdown has begun until the start of the winter Olympics and the start of the rugby season
