ONTARIO UPDATE: MUD TAKES #3

Nate — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 02:13:21 +0000

We’re Back!

Despite a slow start to the season, cancellations and injuries, MuD has launched itself back onto the scene! Some said we weren’t up to the task, that we were weak, licking our wounds, ready to roll over and give up. What did we do in the face of this scathing critisism? Everything they said we couldn’t! We earned our way onto the podium, proved we could play with anyone, and showed that MuD is ALWAYS a team to watch!

Congrats to the grinders that make us great!

Nate — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 15:08:54 +0000

Now, thanks to GUPA and MuD Ultimate you can get both! MuD is proud to introduce the MuD Ultimate Special Edition water bottle. It’s steel, it holds water and it has or beautiful team logo on it! What more could a connoisseur of the sport ask for. We here at MuD Ultimate understand that seeing is believing, so pictures will be posted SOON! The cost you say?! A mere $15, which will not only help support us and our bid for National glory, but help you look amazing in photos and huddles across the Nation!

The MuD-i-est of 2010

Nate — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 03:33:37 +0000

On any given day one player’s star may shine brightly on the field. A hard working hand on the sideline can pull the team through one last shift, or a layout D can turn the momentum of a game. In honour of continual contributions like these, MuD is recognizing its Male and Female MVP’s of 2010.

Congratulations to Andy “Silver Back” Kubinec and Cassie “Bone Crusher” Smith.

Video Free For All!

Nate — Sat, 19 Feb 2011 03:58:36 +0000

To all the Ultimate fans out there, there is a lot of good disc to be watched for free on the internet. The trick is to find it. More often then not typing “Ultimate Frisbee” into Youtube gets you the same highlight videos you’ve been watching since 2008. Admittedly, there is some amazing footage, but the hunger for something new, with a picture quality that isn’t best described as “Gritty”, is deep. To help fill this dark pit of desire, we here at MuD Ultimate are doing the leg work for you, with fresh footage posted regularly. For more, check out the “Video” page under “Ultimate Resource” in the side bar. Remember, watching good Ultimate is a learning experience, So study hard, and stay hungry.

Who is Henry Callahan?

Nate — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 02:25:20 +0000

Obviously, Henry is the namesake of the Rules of Ultimate, US College MVP awards, and one of the greatest plays of all time, but who was Henry Callahan? As Ultimate players, knowing more about the pioneers of the game brings us closer in tune with the sport, where it came from and where we would like to take it. Knowing more about people like Henry can give us the direction and motivation, we as players need, to make what we want of the game we love.

Read about Henry, take his passion to heart, and go make Ultimate greater.

MuD 2011 – Fresh Start… Dirty Name

Nate — Fri, 04 Feb 2011 20:56:14 +0000

It’s been a while since the last update for those of you who have been following Mud Ultimate. Too long to be sure, but with that aside, we are back and running!

In a new development, MuD and the Guelph Ultimate Players Association (GUPA) are working on several joint projects to help grow the sport of Ultimate in the Guelph and Tri-Cities area. What’s on the burner at the moment are several Sunday night clinics and a possible tournament (Think March/April). After the success of our initial clinic (60+ of Ultimate’s finest), MuD holds high hopes and expectations for turnout at our future events. As a tip for those interested in touring this year, and in the words of our peerless leader “Taking it to the next level”, these clinics are a great chance to learn and be scouted by us! If your interested in playing, we’re interested in you. So, keep your ear to the ground and for more information check in regularly here and at www.guelphultimate.ca.

MuD would also like to thank those players who won’t be back for 2011. We appreciated their great effort on the field last season, and the friendship that we all shared. You’ll be missed… Don’t get too comfortable though, the new recruits are hungry for your spots!

For more info on tryouts and other MuD events keep checking here and on our “Tryouts” page. Also, look for regular news starting this month with updates, tips and links to our favourite things.
