## Jonny Wookey Memorial Varsity Game

The Jonny Wookey game started in 2013 as a remembrance of team co-founder Jonny Wookey, who died in Cypress just before graduating in 2012. The game is played against the Edinburgh Eagles with all proceeds going to the Jonny Wookey foundation set up by the family. The first game hosted over 550 people to watch a 6-3 victory, the following year (2014) doubling this attendance for another 6-3 victory. The record attendance is over 1,500 people. The Typhoons have won the Jonny Wookey game 8 times in total, most recently in 2023.
