Maverick is having 11 practices during the winter (see below for dates). We would like to invite the men from other local touring teams and university teams to attend. The practices are on Sundays, from 6-7. The total cost to attend the practices will be $75.
The location is a new place, called: Core Lifestyle & Recreation Complex 401 New Dundee Road, Kitchener
We get the full field for an hour. This is a great opportunity to work on advanced strategy, technique and fitness in the offseason. If you want to improve your game during the winter and are interested, please contact captains@maverickultimate.com.

Maverick attended our first Nationals in Sherbrooke August 12-15, 2010. Coming in as the 7th seed, we were confident of improving on that coming off a win at Motown Throwdown.
Day 1: We won our first two games of the tournament, against Sirloin and Q. The last game of the day was against General Strike, and provided our first real test of the week. In front of a big crowd (a lot of them cheering for us) we played a tight game, but ultimately lost by one point.
Day 2: With a 1-1 record going to power pools, we needed at least one win to get into the quarter-finals on Saturday. We comfortably won our first game of the day against Tommy Douglas Dream Machine. Next up was Grand Trunk, who we've played four times previously this season. It was a back-and-forth game, but we lost on universe point. A bit dejected, we took on Phoenix and played a tight game with them, losing by two points. Unfortunately we went 1-2 that day, but made it into the quarter-finals.
Day 3: Due to our 2-3 record, we drew defending champions Mephisto in the quarter-finals. We played a great game, and took half 8-7. We were very close to scoring the first point after half, which would have been a huge boost for us. As it was, Mephisto came back to win 13-11. Next we had Red Circus, who had lost to Phoenix in quarters. Our O-line played a great game, only getting broken once. Our D-line got us the breaks we needed, and we won 13-12. Our last game was a rematch against GT. Still bitter from the loss the day before, we came out gunning for these guys and won 14-10 in a physical game.
Overall, we lost four games, but by a total of only 6 points. We showed some established teams that we're not a team to be taken lightly, and next year we'll be looking to improve on this showing and get into the semi-finals. |

In late July we played two tournaments as part of our tune-up for Nationals in August: Ontario Open Regionals and Motown Throwdown.
We entered Regionals seeded 3rd, but pulled off an upset over #2 ranked Phoenix in our first game, and followed it up with wins over Roy and Too Bad. Our last game of Saturday saw us lose a tight game against GT on universe point. We began Sunday with a strong game against Moondoggies, losing on universe point again. Our last game was a win against Firebird to finish the tournament in 3rd place.
At Motown we had a busy schedule, 5 games on Saturday. We had tight games against OU Club, Spoiler and Lake Effect, but ended the day undefeated at 5-0. Sunday began with a quarters matchup with Haymaker (who entered as the #1 seed). We struggled at times but pulled off an 11-8 win. We cruised through our last two games against Real Huck and Lake Effect to win our second tournament of the year.
These late-season results give us confidence going into Nationals in Sherbrooke. We're coming in ranked 7th, but we given the teams attending we feel like a definite semis contender. |

From early June to early July we played 3 tournaments, Cazenovia. No Surf, and Jazz Fest.
CUT was a great experience. Such good competition from all over the US and Eastern Canada. As unknowns we went in ranked 15th out of 16 and in the bottom pools. We won our pool on Saturday, going 3-0 against Thrown Together, Medicine Men and Sons of Liberty. A close loss to a Goat split squad put us in the bottom bracket, but we won out to finish 9th.
No Surf in Cleveland was a tough battle for us all weekend. Our O-line was firing but our D-line had struggles with the disc. Regardless we won our pool on Saturday, beating UPA Finalists Madison Club along the way. A tough loss in the quarters put us battling for 5th, where we ended up.
Jazz saw us seeded 1st for the first time, and we held seed despite some tough games against Q on Saturday and Bloody Gary on Sunday. The finals saw a rematch against Q, which we took handily 15-3 for our first tournament win! A huge boost for our team going into Regionals! |
