The Seattle Seawolves congratulate founding member and former player/coach Phil Mack on his selection to the Greater Victoria Sports Hall of Fame Class of 2026.
Mack will be officially inducted on November 7, 2026, at the Delta Hotels by Marriott Victoria Ocean Pointe Resort in Victoria, British Columbia. The recognition celebrates his achievements as an international rugby player, professional athlete and coach.
Mack played an important role in establishing the Seattle Seawolves during Major League Rugby's inaugural seasons.
As a founding member and player/coach, he helped lead Seattle to back-to-back Major League Rugby Championships in 2018 and 2019, securing the first two titles in club history.
His leadership, experience and contributions helped shape the organization during its earliest seasons and remain part of the Seawolves' championship history.
A proud member of the Toquaht First Nation, Mack represented Canada internationally for more than a decade.
Between 2009 and 2019, he earned 59 caps with Canada's Senior Men's XVs team and competed in the 2015 and 2019 Rugby World Cups.
Mack also enjoyed an accomplished international sevens career, appearing in 52 tournaments and becoming the most capped player in Canada's men's sevens program history.
His international achievements include gold medals at the 2011 and 2015 Pan American Games and selection to the HSBC World Sevens Dream Team following Canada's best-ever series finish in 2013–14.
Beyond his playing career, Mack continued contributing to Canadian rugby through coaching and player development. He served as Head Coach and Technical Lead of Rugby Canada's Pacific Pride Development Academy before being appointed Attack Coach for Canada's Men's National Team in 2024.
Mack joins seven other inductees in the Greater Victoria Sports Hall of Fame Class of 2026, recognizing achievements and contributions across multiple sports.
