Uni-nats was a great win again this year for our ladies team. Not only did they take gold against Waterloo in the final but they braved the elements (sleet, snow and gale force winds) like the pros they are. If “ultimate is fun, and more ultimate is more fun” the ladies found that out while playing many back to back games during the three days in good ol’ Hamilton, Ontario. The billets were some excellent students at McMaster University, the hosts, and most of the ladies slept cozied up together in the attic. While the UBC men’s team slept downstairs. Now that was the smell of team spirit!

The U of A women also picked up players Leah from U of C and Megan from UBC, excellent additions….we were all impressed by Megan’s hand muff, very hot fashion statement!
Both teams also impressed the Toronto airport with their excellent throwing skills (don’t hit the arrival/departure signs!) And we all, amazingly enough, arrived in Hamilton in one piece (by plane, by taxi, by limo and rent-a-car). The trip was a learning experience for the U of A female team, with several young players infiltrating the ranks and lots of returning players back to show them the ropes. In Hamilton we learned how to: “nature walk”, eat before the party, bring waterproof gear and lots of socks, wear dark underwear
under silver shorts (Alexis!), party till the wee hours… (Dana, Megan, Alexis guilty as charged?), grunt like a pro while catching a throw to the end zone (Kier, Nancy, Leah, Wendy ...nice hucks), walk proud in the sexiest uniforms there, boat race like pros (Lakehead the offer still stands, c’mon chickens..) and how to bring home the U of A pride again. The returning ladies really stepped up to the plate in the final games showing the other Canadian universities why they want to move to Edmonton. Woot Woot!!
