The Venom previously played in the Rugby Canada Super League until the national governing body, Rugby Canada, decided to disband the league after the 2008 season in favour of the Americas Rugby Championship.
Rugby Canada established the RCNJC as a new under-20 national competition, with virtually all the RCSL unions choosing to field teams in that league.
The Venom play their "home" games at Rotary Stadium in Abbotsford.
Fourteen unions and sub-unions were invited to compete in the new semi-professional league.
