That's it

First off, that's one of the best seasons Torontula has had in a while. The A team took easterns and the Canadian National Championships, and the B team was the best of the B teams. Those are good signs for the future.

Now, let's talk about all the great things that happened along the way.

We practiced over roughly 25 mornings from 7AM until 9AM. This is the equivalent of 3 months of touring practice (2 times a week). Over this time we made 2 teams and learned individual skills, team plays, and 3 defensive zones.

We went to Easterns. Our A team fought through two tough games to become the top team in Eastern Canada. We then went to a tournament in New York with some A boys and some callups where, lucky for them, the Sunday was cancelled or we would have just added to our 4-0 first day crushing. The A team finished off with a perfect weekend at the Canadian University Ultimate Championship. The B team was the top B team in Canada which looks good for our future.

At each of these tournaments, we had good times including our own "Didn't get cut party", and some interesting times in Binghamton, Guelph, and Ottawa.

Some of my highlights for the season were:

• Winning it all!!!
• Watching Norm's handblock on Carleton deflate an entire team.
• Watching the group of seven taking points at Nationals.
• Seeing the general level of ultimate take huge steps over two months.
• Watching Tolya get some amazing grabs.
• Throwing a 40 yard blade to completion.
• Bringing in 7 fresh legs after our first 10 minute point against Queen's in the Semis.
• Playing a sportsman like game against McGill in the finals.
• Breaking the McGill 4-man cup with 2 no look passes.
• Playing with a team that supported each other through thick and thin.
• Going 18-1 record over three tournaments.

So, out of all of this I look like I knew what I was doing. The reality is the road was easy with all of you guys touring during the summer and improving your ultimate games. We just needed to gel as a very talented team and fight for what we wanted.

Sure there are no fans running out on the field and helping us celebrate. The reality is our championship is something that many ultimate players will never get. Remember this time; I will ;)
