Chauncey O'Toole has previously played for the Belleisle Rovers, Castaway Wanderers RFC, RGC 1404 in North Wales, and the Rock of the Canadian Rugby Championship. In September 2010, O'Toole signed a short-term contract with the Glasgow Warriors as cover at a time when the club was plagued with injury. He was let go just a month later having played only one game for the Scottish side.[1]

On 8 July 2011, Rugby Canada released its 30-man squad for the 2011 Rugby World Cup which included O'Toole as one of four flankers selected.[2]

O'Toole joined Pro12 side Ospreys after the 2011 Rugby World Cup.[3]

The Ospreys loaned O'Toole to feeder club Bridgend Ravens on 5 November 2011 for their game against Newport RFC. O'Toole scored a try on his debut, in the dying seconds of the game to snatch the win for his adopted side by 2 points.[4]

O'Toole was released by the Ospreys in July 2012.[5]

O'Toole has since joined the ranks of the Saint John Fire Department (2014) .
