Chicago Hounds hope to spark interest in professional rugby

BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. – There's a relatively new team on the Chicago sports scene that's hoping to catch fans' attention. The Chicago Hounds, in their second year in Major League Rugby , recently clinched a playoff berth in the league. With the help of their young stars, they hope it's just the beginning.The Hounds are trying to build something big in Bridgeview.

'So I quit my freshman year because I was wrestling year-round, and playing rugby, and I was like, 'Ah, do I really want to be a three-sport athlete?' But then I was like 120 pounds, and then by the time I graduated, I was like 190 pounds and just way more athletic. I wish I would've stuck with it, just a little bit, but I'm honestly grateful because I've been able to travel the world and do all these things with rugby.
