We’ve already kicked off the season with a hometown classic, the Toronto Ultimate Festival tournament, a couple of weeks back on May 7-8, taking the top prize despite all sorts of weather in the finals (rain, thunderstorm game delay, high winds, hail, and sunshine).
In just 2 weeks time, we’re headed down to Devens, Mass to compete in the Boston Invite, where we’ll get our first glimpse of the USA’s top mixed teams for this season, including Wild Card and Slow White. We’re happy to see some more fellow Canadian teams representing in all divisions this year!
Just a short 4 days later, Union will be competing at the prestigious US Open, held in Rhode Island this year from July 1-4.
Stay tuned for more updates (via Twitter and Facebook) on the team’s battles south of the border as we focus our attention on the USA series this year! See ya on the fields!
