In the past few days, while casually browsing through the various holiday-themed channels, I came across an interesting show: "theScore's Top 50 Plays of 2010". It is always refreshing to have a quick recap of the year's best and this show proved itself worthy. Through the several basketball slamdunks and unbelievable footwork of soccer and football players, there was one clip that captured my

The Waterloo team had to be rebuilt, as we lost several of our key players. Tryouts were intense and we scrambled to put together a team in time for Regionals. Many of our players were first years and we got a taste of the future of this sport and our team. With recognized players like Ben Pries and Hugh Bousfield from Toronto's Overdrive as well as many high school champions, we felt fairly

The rolling hills and the endless forests of this city of 200,000 define the unique region of the St. Lawrence lowlands. From Thursday the 12th to Sunday the 15th, this city was completely overrun with Ultimate

Several years ago, as I searched YouTube for its infinite wisdom, I was amazed by the Ultimate videos. I was just starting out in Ultimate and couldn't imagine a game at higher levels than what I was exposed to in the high school league. Hearing of teams like ROY, GT, and GOAT made me feel very small and fragile. That was my way of marvelling at their greatness. I was putting them on the

ONYX celebrate their 15-7 victory over Monster as they hold on to top spot two years in a row. We left Toronto late at night on the Friday before the tournament hoping to avoid the late rush of traffic exiting the city. I was as yet unsure about my living arrangements in Ottawa, but thanks to the generosity of one of my teammates, I wasn't left stranded in the nation's capital. "This is it,"

Phoenix edge out the Moondoggies for first seed to Nationals. The drive up to Waterloo on that humid Saturday morning was soon overshadowed, quite literally, by rain clouds threatening to burst out into an orchestra of thunderstorms. I had the pleasure of driving two very experienced players to the 2010 Ontario Open Regionals, both of whom picked up with Moondoggies (GOAT's pickup team).

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

A few days ago, I was reading some Shakespeare (I think you might recognize which play based on the title of this post), and I became inspired to write the following: "To Flick or not to flick- that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The curses and taunts of getting D'ed, Or to take aim down the field, And, by throwing, crush them. To layout, to get D'ed No more - and by

Tired. Noxious. And severely jet-lagged. That’s how I’d describe my initial experience at the Mixed Regional Championships. It was a weekend-long tournament in Burlington, Ontario for the several co-ed touring teams in the region to qualify for the few seats to the Canadian Ultimate Championships taking place this August in Sherbrooke, Quebec. My plane from Mumbai had landed the night before

Ultimate is a sport that transcends all borders. At least that's what I realized when I played a pickup game with Mumbai's team, the Storm Chasers, this summer. I met this team on the beaches of Mumbai one Saturday morning, after getting in touch with them in advance. Although the sport is only two years old in India, the players were very skilled and well-versed in the rules. Their captain
