30 Years of TUC – Indoor Gala Recap
 The Toronto Ultimate Club 30th Anniversary Gala took place on October 22 and it was one that will go down in history. We’d like to thank all of the mighty volunteers, the 30th Anniversary Committee, and the Hall of Fame Committee for their exceptional work. We’d also like to thank Steam Whistle Brewery & VC Ultimate (Presenting Sponsors), Pivot Sport Medicine, and Jamie Dempster for their sponsorship of the event. Congratulations go out to our inaugural Hall of Fame inductees (see below).
The premier TUC film, “30 Years in 30 Minutes” which was directed by Otto Chung, can now be viewed online!
As well, the Scally’s Cup and the Big Hammers vs Monster (from Rogers TV) footage is now also available online!
More links, photos and news can be found on the TUC home page once we get caught up!
Thanks to everyone who celebrated 30 years of TUC with us. Every contribution, big or small, was significantly helpful. We look forward to the next 30 years of Ultimate in Toronto!
TUC Hall of Fame – Class of 2010
Congratulations to Class of 2010, the inaugural TUC Hall of Fame inductees:
Each of our inductees received a commemorative signed and framed picture of the HOF 2010 Class. They also received a Hall of Fame Hoodie, hat, and Steam Whistle swag.
We have created a new page TUC Hall of Fame page on our website and we encourage you to check the bios and images of our Hall of Famers. This page will be further updated in the near future.
There were many worthy candidates that were considered for the 2010 Class. No doubt this inaugural induction will open the 'great debate' of who should be next, and those that may seem as obvious choices will probably be inducted in the near future. That's where we need help! TUC is looking to form an Alumni Committee moving forward that collects nominations and votes on future Hall of fame inductions. As well the committee will address key philosophical questions regarding frequency, chronology, and protocol. Interested in participating and think you have an extensive knowledge of our history? Contact halloffame@tuc.org

At the 30th Anniversary Gala, TUC honoured its 2010 Volunteer Award Winners:
