2026 Seniors Update
The 2026 season is here and the energy around the Kennel is building fast. After a huge year for our senior program, we’re not just preparing for another season, we’re gearing up to defend our titles and create even more history.
🟢 Senior Coaching Teams Locked In
We’re excited to announce the return of our core coaching groups who have been instrumental in our recent success.

🏆 Back-to-Back in Our Sights
Both our Premier Grade Men and Women enter the season as defending champions. The goal is clear, go back-to-back and continue building a legacy at the Kennel.
Last year we were the hunters.
This year, we are the hunted.
And we wouldn’t have it any other way.
📅 Pre-Season Is Underway
The work has already started.
• Men’s pre-season is underway. If you haven’t been down yet, now is the time.
