Saturday afternoon #wheelchairrugby action from Brooklin High School at this year’s Durham Region 2019 Ontario Parasport Games was absolutely amazing to watch. Originally called murderball, this game was invented in Winnipeg Manitoba in 1976 by four quadriplegic athletes. Now called Wheelchiar Rugby, it’s an official Paralympic sport that's played in over 50 countries. Our #SWSCD highlights showcase the battle between Team Ottawa and Team Belleville. #seewhatshecando #paramazing #rugby Ontario Wheelchair Sports Association - OWSA Rugby Ontario
