CUUC

Hey, it’s that time of the year again folks, the Canadian University Ultimate Championships are just around the corner. It’s unsurprising how hard it is to write a folksy blog. But nonetheless, I assume we’re all excited to make the journey up the 416 to Ottawa (or however we may all be getting there). So far we’re looking at rain for Friday, clearing up into a chilly but clear Saturday and Sunday, perfect weather.

Kingston, Queen’s, well done sirs and madams. We who are sore salute you. A tournament with good fields is infinitely more enjoyable than one with dirt patches and potholes, so thank you from all of us who laid out, slid and didn’t snap our ankles on your fields. Congrats to everyone who played this weekend at the Canadian Eastern University Ultimate Championships, a good showing by all. It was great to see A and B teams coming to CEUUC, I love that there are enough people to support 2 teams at so many universities and at such a high level.

In an interest to learn more about people and our sport I will from time to time stop heckling and instead have a conversation with a fellow player. In keeping with the theme of this weekend (CUUC) I had a quick chat with Scott Hislop of the UWO Sharks and TFP (as he’s probably better known for). I first met Scott two years ago in the WODS indoor Winter league where we were on occasion decimated by the UWO team.
