Iron Dragons

The Iron Dragons were formed in 1997 to introduce the exciting sport of dragon boat to the Skule™ community.

Since then, Iron Dragons has grown to have two competitive mixed crews, Blue and Gold, and one recreational crew, Purple. The same paddlers on the competitive crews also make up the Iron Dragons Women and Open crews. In 2015, Blue became the University Canadian Champions and kept the title for the next two years. In 2018, the competitive crews went to the IDBF Club Crew World Championships for the first time, where they won 9 gold medals and 2 silver medals in the University and U24 divisions.

Our Vision as a Club is:

To provide an opportunity for engineering undergraduates to learn and compete in the sport of dragon boating;
To encourage physical fitness, a healthy lifestyle, and build teamwork, communication and cooperation among students; and
To increase the profile of Skule™ within U of T and the dragon boat community.
