STROKES of LUCK


This is the TENTH year for the team, formed originally in 2015 by Jack Leong. The crew had a great 2023 and look forward to a new year of racing in 2024.  Anyone can participate in this sport and have fun and do well.  The team has transitioned from being a university library staff team to one open to anyone.  The name change from Library of Conquest to Strokes of Luck (team naming contest) was made in support of this change.


The non-profit registration fee includes all practices and events as well as the use of life jackets and paddles. All members of this team are also automatically members of the Rusty Dragons club.  The club supports the team in many ways, and also provides all team members with additional opportunities to train and race.


*** Registration is NOW open for the Strokes of Luck 2024 summer program.  Note that the whole club is getting fancy new dye-sublimated jerseys this year and this is included in the registration fee.


*** The team is excited to announce that Sammi Wai has been selected as the new coach for the Strokes of Luck team.  Sammi hails from McMaster University in multiple sports, including dragon boat.   


We are also excited to announce that Nathan and Charmaine are your team co-captains for 2024!  Please read the program details further below, and when ready you can register using the orange button below.  Note that registration and payment are two separate processes - registration is via our TeamSnap form linked to by the button below, and payment is done separately via your online banking (Interac) once you are confirmed registered.
