The Hounds announced Noah Flesch’s signing on November 7, 2024. The exciting prospect is the younger brother of Hounds’ forward Mason Flesch, who enjoyed a breakout 2024 MLR campaign, culminating in a Second Team All-Pro nod.

The 6’2”, 190-pound center is an ascending prospect yet has already begun to show promise at the next level. Canada head coach Kingsley Jones included Noah in the wider training group for their 2024 Pacific Nations Cup campaign.

After impressing as a training squad player during the PNC, Jones recalled the center to the Canada traveling squad for their autumn test series. His stock continued to rise and Flesch made his debut this past fall in a start against Chile.

Before his first foray into test rugby, Flesch spent four years with the Pacific Pride program. Per Rugby Canada’s website, the Academy is a high-performance program aimed at preparing young, emerging Canadian players for professional rugby at the highest level. The team competes in the British Columbia Rugby Premier League.
