Wheelchair Rugby: A Winnipeg Invention

In 1976 in Winnipeg, MB, four individuals invented a new sport called "Murderball.” It was meant as an alternative to wheelchair basketball. Over time, this sport would evolve into “Wheelchair Rugby.”

Public History on the Prairies is an initiative of the Public History Program at Brandon University.

Brandon University campuses are located on Treaty 1 and Treaty 2 Lands, traditional homelands of the Dakota, Anishanabek, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dene and Métis peoples. We respect the treaties that were made on these lands.
