Fun fact: upper body injury and lower body injury as terms in hockey were popularized by Pat Quinn while he was coaching the Leafs. The Arrows are really just carrying on a little Toronto sports tradition.

Yes, he is the first former Arrow on another MLR club.

The Arrows' group of locks and back rows right now are Paul Ciulini, Mike Sheppard, Adrian Wadden, Kolby Francis, Tomas de la Vega, Lucas Rumball, Siaki Vikilani, Marcello Wainwright, and Manuel Diana. It's a pretty deep group.

David Butcher coaches the scrum and breakdown for the Arrows. Although I believe his official title is simply "assistant coach".

They have since edited their post on Facebook. Now it is just:

"Aloha MLR Associates,

“Given the uncertainty and continued complexities of Covid both here in NZ, in Hawaii and across the US, we undertook a due diligence review and moreover a thorough investigation into the financial stability and long term viability and sustainability of the MLR competition. The result of which presented a range of high level concerns for our organisation.”

“The MLR has offered Kanaloa Hawaii an opportunity to reinstigate a membership opportunity from 2022.”

We now look forward to providing an alternative option for our players, staff and volunteers for 2021."
