We are only a few days away from the close of Winter League Registration. Don’t delay any further or you’ll miss out! We have room for 25 more Thursday League Co-ed players, first come first serve. There is also room for 3 more men’s team (or individuals) on Tuesday nights – the price for team fees has been reduced so take advantage!

If you have never played Indoor Ultimate before, this is the perfect time to start. It’s a great way to shake off the winter rust (and the Christmas pudding) and be active during the cold months. It’s also a great time to work on your Ultimate skills in preparation for the summer season. Indoor Ultimate is FAST and FUN and we have a place for all skill levels of players.

On December 3 TUC held a free indoor Ultimate tournament for its volunteers. Over 40 of TUC’s phenomenal helpers participated and Team Black (see below) went undefeated at 3-0 and won free Daredevil “Canada Ultimate” t-shirts. At the post-game pub feast all volunteers received a prize and 4 of our special volunteers also received gift certificates from Montana’s Cookhouse and Daredevil Discs. They were:

Craig Stephen – for his outstanding photography of TUC events
Greg Schmidt – for countless hours in the development of the great new TUC web site
Harry Burkman – for continued legal counsel and policy review
Hilary Leung – for endless graphic imaging designed and contributed to TUC

TUC also honoured it’s Volunteer of the Year for 2006 and the recipient was Doug Coote. Doug has been a staple at TUC events the entire year and an instrumental volunteer. His selfless contributions and commitment to the Club was unparalleled in 2006. Doug received a V.O.Y. plaque, Toronto Raptors tickets, Hilton Hotel Gift Certificate, and a Daredevil Disc Gift Certificate.

Thanks to all of the many wonderful volunteers on an outstanding year in 2006! You are what makes our Club so successful!

Want to contribute your skills and/or knowledge to the Club in 2007? There are a number of volunteer positions available, big or small, where we could use your help. Visit our Job Descriptions section of the web site for more details, and email volunteers@tuc.org to join our fun team of volunteers.

TUC Head Office & TUC Shop will be closed on Friday, December 22 for the Christmas holidays. The office will re-open at 9am on Tuesday, January 2.

Have a safe and happy holidays!

Sincerely,

The TUC team
