The 16-year-old (pictured, left) initially caught the eye of provincial under-16 rugby coach Tyler Leggatt when he was playing for the White Oaks Wildcats against Leggatts Abbey Park Eagles in Halton high school play last season. That might explain why, despite being injured and unable to engage in full contact during recent tryouts for the Ontario squad, Schell was able to crack one of two teams that will represent the province at the upcoming National Championships Festival in Calgary. (Leggatt) really saw me when we played Abbey Park for school and they gave me the Man of the Match shirt, Schell said. Thats when he wanted me to come try out. He knew what I could do. Schell, a 6-foot-4, 200-pound lock, will play for the Ontario 2 team in the national championships. He said hes expecting a good challenge from the other provinces and hopes the experience will be educational, though hes already learned a few things in tryouts. Even trying out, they teach you how to change things to make you better. In a scrum, they helped me to fix my position, and they helped me with my running to use my arm more to block guys coming to tackle me, said Schell, who scored two tries for White Oaks in a 22-17 loss to Oakville Trafalgar in last seasons Halton junior Tier 1 final. The rugby national championships will take place Aug. 15-21.
