After a two or three year absence I rejoined the Cornerstone Ultimate League. I played with them a few years ago when my former company was located near Yorkdale Mall. But, after we moved west closer to the airport it was just too far to get there on time after work. Now that I'm not working I have all the time in the world.
This is probably our 10th or 11th week playing. We had a couple of weeks of practice at the beginning. After that we formed our teams. Since we have yellow/gold coloured shirts we decided to call ourselves the Golden Nuggets.
Our captain is Jason Cook. He's quite a good player. Calvin Lee is his assistant. We have a mix of players. Some are new, others have a bit of experience.
Our turnout at the beginning was quite good. We had a good number of guys and girls showing up. But, in the past few weeks the attendance for the girls has dropped. So the ones who do come out don't get any rest. It's tough on them, but they're warriors.
I thought our team might do alright, but we started off kind of poorly. We lost a whole bunch of games in a row. Finally a few weeks in we won one. And oddly enough in the past few weeks we've strung together a three game winning streak. Things are turning around for us it seems. It's too bad the season is ending next week. We should have started this winning streak sooner, eh?
