Biography

Raised in Victoria, British Columbia, Danskin attended St. Michael's University School and the University of Victoria, where he was twice named "Outstanding Athlete of the Year" playing varsity rugby.[1]

Danskin played his rugby as a fly-half and had a strong kicking game, aided by tuition received from Canadian Football Hall of Fame place kicker Dave Cutler, who is a family friend.[2]

A rugby sevens specialist, Danskin debuted for Canada at the 2001 World Games and scored 480 points during his World Sevens Series career. He was capped three times with the Canada XV between 2001 and 2004.[3]
