Rick Bailey was an original founder of the Cold Lake Penguins RFC in 1989 and was the longest running captain on record. He was a tireless promoter of the sport not only for Cold Lake but through out the ERU. He was a Scrum Half for most of his years and later shifted to the Stand-off (playing into his late 40’s). Rick earned the nickname “Weasel” for his tenacious and cunning play on the Pitch, as well as his antics off the Pitch. Rick had many rugby related successes including playing in the World Master Games in the over 35 Men’s, and tours to Maggot-fest, Crab Grass, SNAFU, Rugby-fest, William’s Lake, Abbotsford, San Antonio and Austin Texas. One of his proudest accomplishments was playing with his son Derek. Unfortunately Rick’s death came way to early due to cancer. To the life and legacy of Rick Bailey in thanks for all you have done for the club, the socials and all the friends and players you mentored, the Penguins salute “Sociable”!
