While browsing casually through the articles of my fellow Ultimate players, I came across a well-written piece about the opportunities available for Ultimate in Toronto. The article, titled Toronto Ultimate Teams, Leagues and Clubs delves deep into the structure of the sport and offers great tips on improving one's game. The author, Jennifer Tse, is a close friend and a great Ultimate player in the Toronto region. She is a frequent contributor to blogTO, a popular Toronto blog. Her articles have reached a wide circle of readers in varying fields who all share the common thread of this sport. Her fresh and dynamic style of writing brings flavour to the world of Ultimate. Tell her, "Isn't [Ultimate] a game for dogs? Or stoned hippies in a park?" Chances are she'll give you a more than convincing lecture on the sport and it's growth. Jen's contributions to this sport have been well received albeit she never really likes taking credit for it.

Here's a little snippet of her work:

"The ultimate community is special in that it's large enough for one to attend satisfyingly huge events (think 2-day, 31-team tournaments at Sunnybrook Park), but close-knit enough for those serendipitous connections to happen. If you know an ultimate player, chances are he or she knows someone who knows someone who knows you." (Jennifer Tse, April 22, 2009)
