Sport: Rugby

Christina may well be the most athletic member of any Humber Hawks women’s team, and there is sufficient proof—given her sport, that she may also be one of the toughest. Women’s Rugby 7’s is not for the faint of heart, as the game includes violent and explosive tackles throughout the game. She is fleet of foot and unlike the traditional game of Rugby 15’s, it is speed and skill that rule. Her ability to stay away from the pack and potential harmful contact is very much a part of her game. Her numbers from the 2017 season are staggering. She scored 180 points (20 tries, 40 converts) in just 16 games played, with many of these games seeing her move to the sidelines early to allow others into the games because of blowouts.

Christina, a fourth-year player from Oshawa, is currently enrolled in the Sport Management Program at Humber.

Johnny Sheridan is a fly half for the men’s rugby team. As a rookie, Sheridan and his squad won the club’s fourth consecutive OCAA gold medal and capped his season with the Humber rugby Rookie of the Year and Male Freshmen of the Year awards. Now Sheridan is the captain of the team in only his second year at Humber. Sheridan picked up rugby in grade nine and became the four-time Most Valuable Player at Humberview Secondary School. He also played with Rugby Ontario and was a provincial gold medalist at the U17 level. He continues to play club rugby for the Markham Irish of the Marshall Premiership league.

Sheridan is in first year of the Business Administration program where he plans on completing his Bachelor of Business and later on running his own company. Since arriving at Humber, Sheridan said he feels like he’s joined a big family that offers great support financially, emotionally and morally and feels at home in the Blue and Gold.
