In 2023, the Canadian Classics — an international touring side — invited NERFU to participate in a clash of titans by recruiting select players for the union’s membership and compete in a cross border match-up. NERFU’s finest were mustered into men’s and women’s teams – dubbed the Nor’Easters by the community. We were honored to host the Classics for a week which culminated in fixtures for both teams outside of Boston.

The Nor’Easters organized again in 2024 — this time traveling to Toronto. The team spent five days exploring the city, training, taking in a Blue Jays game and competing against the Classics in a rematch.
