EDITOR’S LETTER Welcome to Ultimate Canada, and our new name. After this issue, get ready for
a recharged issue with the involvement of two other volunteer content editors. They’ll be working closely with many of you to help populate the magazine with the latest and greatest articles across the country. In this issue there’s a variety of articles. For the coaches, check out page 57 to
read about how to deal with stress and anxiety. To improve your defensive game, read about how to adjust your D downfield to best eliminate the threats. As well, read about the seven phrases that’ll help your team gel in defense. Look at the great photography work in a photo spread of our boys and girl junior teams. The game is changing, so check out the L-Stack Isolation play to improve your offense. If you’ve been playing competitive Ultimate no doubt you’ve experienced joy
or frustration depending upon whether you played with or against one of the four Alexander brothers. Read through this feature profile on four brothers who all play competitively . . . perhaps the only ones in the world, ever? Lastly, pat yourself on the back for taking part of the Great Canadian Ultimate
Game. It’s one for the record books, and extremely successful. Enjoy the videos, photos and more. Until the next issue, may all your throws be caught. . . . . . by your own teammates.
