Although they play in Toronto.....The Toronto Wolf Pack is a unique team. They play their home games in Toronto, but their away games in the UK, in the 3rd division. In the 2017 season their record ( in a 23 game season ) was 20 wins . That result got them moved up to the second division for 2018.
The Wolf Pack started with only a few hundred fans in their first home game, but by the end of the 2017 season they were drawing 8 to 9 thousand fans per game. And they have a national sports TV network that covers all of their games, both in Canada and in the UK.
With a large British expat community in the Greater Toronto Area ( population six million people ) they are well on the road to a being a major team in the Toronto market. For those that don't know.. Toronto has established pro sports teams in MLB, NBA, NHL, CFL, MLS, and now Rugby. The Wolves play in the same stadium that Toronto FC plays in with a 30,000 seating capacity.
A unique ticket offer.......One of the Wolves major sponsors is an international airline Air Transat . They offer a 14 day fly and game ticket package, to attend Wolves games in the UK..... All in, flight. hotels. meals and transportation . And a massive free swag bag of team goodies. That is a unique offer in the sports world I think. Air Transat also offers similar deals to UK team supporters that want to come to Canada to watch their team play here.
For a first year professional team to win 20 out of 23 games... that's a sure indication of the caliber of players that they have. The team provides all housing, meals, training facility, and city tours while in Toronto. And they pay top money to their players.
