Michigan native Jamie Demers represented the Seattle Seawolves during the 2023 Major League Rugby season.

Demers played gridiron football through high school and began playing rugby while at the University of Michigan, where he arrived in 2015 and captained the university side by their 2018/19 season. He obtained both a bachelor’s degree and Master’s degree in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering in 2019 & 2020 respectively. Demers played for Detroit Rugby Club before joining Seattle Rugby Club.

Demers earned his MLR debut for Seattle in Week 18 of the 2023 regular season, when he came on as a substitute against the San Diego Legion in a game that the Seawolves ultimately lost 40-19. The Seawolves fielded a drastically different line up for this game as they had already secured a playoff spot and home field advantage. Head Coach Allan Clarke described it as an opportunity to award members of the Seawolves extended squad that have put in the effort throughout the season.
