Letter from the editor Written by: Kevin Underhill
Welcome back to another edition of the Ultimate Canada Digital Magazine. For the spring 2014 issue, we take the reader on a wild ride across Canadian Ultimate. Returning author and 2011 Athlete of the Year, Morgan Hibbert praises this year’s award winners in our Ultimate Canada awards section. We offer a glimpse into the summer of competition with looks at the 2014 Canadian High School Championships, the 2014 CUC in Waterloo as well as a preview of our national junior team.
We introduce an exciting feature section this spring and what better start than with the escapades of Tim Ambery as he rode his bike from Halifax to Vancouver, playing Ultimate all the while. Check
FRONT PAGES
out his story on page 8. Our regional interest section covers Ultimate from coast-to-coast featuring a cool story from each Ultimate Canada region. If you are looking to get coverage for your region, send us a note and we will be happy to get you in the next edition of the UCM.
Last but certainly not least, our back pages provide awesome coaching resources including a sneak peak of Ultimate Canada’s LTAD model as well as a wicked little top 5 for curious Ultimate fans. A look into a fierce BC college rivalry caps off this packed issue of the Ultimate Canada Digital Magazine. Read up; let us know what you loved and as always, I’ll see you on the field.
