2008-08-18T11:26:00.009-05:00

Congratulations to MOFO for winning and reclaiming the National Juniors title at CUC 2008 in Calgary this past weekend. MOFO went 8-1 all tourny, including a thrilling 14-13 come-from-behind finals win. This championship marks the 4th time in the last 7 years MOFO has emerged as the top junior team in the country, reinforcing MOFO's dominance as a perennial powerhouse juniors squad.

Congratulations also to the 16 MOFO players/alumni who represented Canada so well at the World Ultimate and Guts Championships recently held in Vancouver. Current and former MOFO players were represented on the Open (Gold), Women's (Bronze), Mixed (Gold), Jr Open (Silver), and Jr Women's teams.

These accolades continue to serve as reminders that Winnipeg's Juniors program is well-established and healthy.

All Juniors who want to work to improve their ultimate skills are invited to attend the practices.

MOFO practices twice a week during the summer, and will play in several tournaments, both in and out of Winnipeg, as well as Canadian Ultimate Championships in Toronto on the weekend of August 9-12.

These are some of the tournaments that MOFO will likely be attending:

MOFO's 2007 season will be underway soon enough. This year's MOFO will be undoubtedly be as strong as ever, as MOFO looks to reclaim the Juniors title. Stay tuned!

archived stuff:

Now that our summer ultimate season has ended, we can start looking to next season. Thanks to everyone who dedicated themselves to the many hours of tryouts, practices, tournaments and long trips. It has been a fun and amazing summer, and while it is unfortunate we didn't reach all our goals this year, I know we will be fueled and fired up for next summer. We should all be proud of our amazing accomplishments. Keep playing ultimate whenever you can, and take every opportunity to work on your skills and fitness during the off-season. Let's thank our "graduating" MOFO players Matt Artemiuk, Dean Johnstone, Krish Mulchand, Sean Storm, Andrew Sutton, and Erin Mirecki for their contributions to MOFO. They will undoubtedly be excellent additions to whatever adult teams they decide to join. For anyone who was born in 1989 or later, we'll hopefully see you again next year at tryouts!

Saturday Mixed Recap

By Anna Mebust

Saturday dawned cloudy with a strong cross field wind—promising plenty of turnovers and long points. The first round saw the Minnesota team match up against Seattle, New England against Cincinnati, and Manitoba against Des Moines. Seattle came out strong at the start of the game, but Minnesota tied the score up at 3-3, prompting a timeout call from Seattle. The two teams stayed even for a while, but Minnesota eventually pulled ahead using their zone defense and took half 8-5. Seattle scored the first point after half with patient offense, but then found themselves in a rut as Minnesota went on to win the game, final score 15-6. Cincinnati struggled at the beginning of their game and found themselves lagging behind New England, 5-1, but they found their stride and, capitalizing on quick offense and a dropped pull by New England, went on a seven-point run to take half 8-5. New England played a stronger second half and kept Cincinnati honest but could not overcome their momentum as Cincinnati went on to win the game, 14-11, in the soft cap. Strong wind and many turnovers plagued the Manitoba and Des Moines game as the Iowa team went up 2-1. Manitoba came back to bring the score to 5-2, but Des Moines followed up with their own comeback to tie the game at 5-5. Manitoba pulled away to take half 8-6 and kept up strong defense through the second half. The game ended 13-8 in the soft cap on a sweet layout in the end zone by Manitoba.

The second round saw match-ups between Minnesota and Cincinnati, New England and Manitoba, and Seattle and Des Moines. Minnesota played good zone defense and moved the disc well but struggled to get the disc into the end zone, and Cincinnati, coming off their great comeback in the first round, took half, 8-3. Minnesota continued to have trouble completing throws and Cincinnati outscored them 7-3 in the second half to win the game, 15-6. New England and Manitoba had difficulties throwing in the wind, and poor throws and drops made for long early points. New England eventually took half, 8-5. Manitoba began a wild comeback, tying the score up at 9-9 during soft cap and scoring the next two points as the hard cap whistle blew to win the game, 11-9. Des Moines went up 5-1 early in the game, but Seattle returned points to bring the score closer at 7-6. Des Moines took half but Seattle kept the game close until 10-8, but after the strong wind created more turnovers and Des Moines had a nice break for the score, Seattle began to tire and Des Moines took the game 15-9.

The third round had games between Minnesota and Manitoba, New England and Des Moines, and Cincinnati and Seattle. Minnesota and Manitoba were neck and neck early in the game, but the Minnesota team pulled ahead with their solid zone defense and some good offensive plays to take half 8-5. The teams matched each other until the score reached 11-8 for Minnesota, but the Manitoba team pulled out their intensity and their second huge comeback of the tournament so far and tied up the game in soft cap, 11-11, eventually finishing off Minnesota 13-11. Meanwhile, New England went up early on Des Moines, and even though they had trouble completing hucks in the wind they took half 8-5. They continued to struggle with deep completions but played solid defense against Des Moines and won 15-8 in soft cap after some nice offensive plays. In the Cincinnati-Seattle game, Seattle couldn’t quite get their offense together and Cincinnati was on a role after their huge comeback in the first round and their great game in round two. Cincinnati went up 7-1 before half, and kept scoring (including a Callahan) to win the game 15-4.

In the final Saturday round, Minnesota matched up against New England, Manitoba played Seattle and Cincinnati met Des Moines. New England took a small early lead and Minnesota continued to have trouble finding the open person in the end zone. Eventually New England took half, 8-4. In the second half, New England switched to man defense and Minnesota seemed to be deflated, going scoreless in the second half. New England finished off the game 15-4. Manitoba took an early lead against Seattle and took half 8-2, but the points had been long with many turnovers. Immediately after half, Manitoba faced a taste of their own medicine as Seattle went on a four-point run to bring the score to 8-6. Manitoba scored as the soft cap went on and managed to hold onto their lead to win 11-6. And Cincinnati had their closest game of the tournament since their first round comeback against an eager Des Moines team. Cincinnati did well in the first half, taking it 8-3 including another Callahan, but began to make mistakes that the Iowa team capitalized on and Des Moines began their own comeback, eventually taking the game to 10-8. The next few points were intense but Cincinnati eventually found their rhythm again and won the game 15-10.

Sunday morning will see match-ups between Manitoba and Cincinnati, New England and Seattle, and Minnesota and Des Moines. The first match-up will be an exciting game, as both teams are currently undefeated. Cincinnati appears to be the favorite so far, but Manitoba’s comebacks are evidence that they are a force to be reckoned with. New England also had many close battles and their game against Minnesota showed that they are not out of the running for the championship. At this point, it’s still really anyone’s tournament.

Sunday Mixed Recap

By Anna Mebust

Last Round of Pool Play

Sunday morning promised some good match-ups as the strong wind continued from the opposite side of the field, and the two undefeated teams duked it out for the top seed. Manitoba and Cincinnati both looked good at the start of the game, keeping it even until the game was tied at 4-4. Cincinnati then went on a four-point run (due in large part to #3 Sarah Findley, who scored nearly half of Cincinnati’s points in the first half and earned a critical D) to take half 8-4. Manitoba, hoping to earn the official label of “comeback team,” earned the first two points after half, but Cincinnati had a strong desire to hold them down and went on a six-point run to bring the score to 14-6. Final score was 15-8, Cincinnati over Manitoba, earning them the No.1 and No.2 seeds, respectively, in the championship bracket.
New England faced Seattle in the only game that could seriously affect the seeding for the next round. After a couple of close losses on Saturday, New England really brought it in this game and went up 5-1. Seattle’s strong women helped them nearly match EMU in the rest of the half (New England took it 8-4), but New England’s solid offense and experience took the younger team by storm in the second half and they won, 15-5, earning themselves the No.3 seed and Seattle a No.6 seed. The Minnesota vs. Des Moines game was the closest game of the morning. Minnesota started out with the lead at 4-1 with their zone, but Des Moines kept the score within three as Minnesota took half, 8-6. In the second half, Minnesota started out well but continued to have trouble finding the open person in the end zone and Des Moines took the lead, 11-10. This may have been the result of Des Moines switching to man defense, which Minnesota had struggled against on Saturday as well. The score was kept close, within three points, but the New England-Seattle game was already over and both teams knew they would be meeting again in the quarterfinals of the championship bracket. Des Moines eventually won 15-12 in the soft cap, earning the No.4 seed and Minnesota took the No.5 seed.

Quarterfinals

Due to unlucky chance, the first round of the championship bracket had two identical match-ups as the last round of pool play. After beating Seattle in the last round, New England met them again hoping to do the same. New England went up early, but Seattle was playing hard defense and the early points were especially long. After Seattle scored to bring the game to 4-2, New England fought through the next long point and Seattle began to tire. New England took half 8-2. The rest during half helped Seattle as they scored some fantastic points off of great plays (including an incredible layout by #4 Leah Fury) to bring the game to 11-5 New England over Seattle, but New England played extremely hard defense and their experience again worked to their advantage as Seattle struggled with turnovers. It was #26 Rachael Westgate on New England with a Callahan for the final score, 15-5, and New England advanced to the semifinals against Manitoba.

After the last round, both Des Moines and Minnesota knew that this could be anyone’s game, but they had to want it. Des Moines took an early lead 3-1, but Minnesota returned their drive and earned the lead 4-3. Des Moines found their rhythm as Minnesota continued to struggle with finding the open player in the end zone, and the Iowa team took half 8-5. Minnesota switched to a four/three women/men format after half, and between a girl-girl connection for one score and a timeout for another, they brought the game close at 8-7 Iowa over Minnesota, but the strong offense by the Des Moines team combined with Minnesota’s continued struggles on the end zone line culminated in a five-point run by Des Moines. Minnesota finally got it together and started making a comeback, but strong defense by Des Moines kept the points long and the hard cap whistle blew as Minnesota was down 13-11. Now unable to win the game, Minnesota lost heart and Des Moines scored the final point 14-11 to advance to the semifinals against Cincinnati.

Semifinals

Cincinnati, the top seed, faced Des Moines in the semifinal round. The day earlier, Des Moines had given Cincinnati a relatively challenging game, but Sunday the Iowan team had just played two very long, intense games against Minnesota and was undoubtedly tired. Cincinnati had not yet lost a game, and they were certainly not looking to do it in the semifinal round. Cincinnati scored the first point and Iowa soon matched it, but within a few points it was clear that Cincinnati was on their game as they went up 5-1. Iowa finally managed to punch in a hard fought point to bring the score to 5-2, and the teams exchanged points evenly until Cincinnati took half, 8-5. Iowa’s exhaustion became apparent in the second half of the game as Cincinnati took off. Iowa had a couple of other nice scores, but Cincinnati won the game solidly, 15-8.

Meanwhile, on the next field over, what was arguably the best game of the tournament was taking place. New England, after losing in pool play to Manitoba during a huge comeback by the Canadian team, was looking to come out strong and play hard, while Manitoba knew it would take a lot to beat the Massachusetts team. This game would undoubtedly be close and intense. Manitoba had the first score, then an awesome layout by New England’s Andrew Lunetta, catching the trailing edge of the disc, ended in a score to tie the game 1-1. Points were extremely long due to the great defense played by both teams. Manitoba eventually scored on a push pass, 2-1. An exchange of great hucks brings the score to 3-2, but more hucks in the next point were turned over due to the strong wind. Lunetta scored the point for New England to tie it up at 3-3. Manitoba connected their huck to go up 4-3, then scores again to lead 5-3. A great cut by Lunetta was rewarded with a score for New England, and some really great catches followed to tie the game once again at 5-5. A nice grab in the end zone and suddenly New England was leading 6-5 and the excitement was nearly tangible. In the next point, great defense by the New England cup nearly resulted in another Callahan by Westgate, and New England scored 7-5. Manitoba called a timeout and started fighting back with a great catch by #89 Mark Lloyd to bring it to7-6, but New England was on a role and took half 8-6. Another score for New England, followed by a really awesome layout catch by #14 that was almost OB, and suddenly New England was up 10-6. Manitoba kept their cool, though, and a great catch brought score to 10-7. Another great throw and catch brought the score to 10-8, and New England began to get nervous as the comeback team inched ever closer to their dwindling lead. Another great huck by Manitoba brought the score to 10-9. The soft cap whistle blew as Manitoba had a fantastic D and around break for the score to tie it up 10-10, game to 12. EMU finally found themselves again and scored with a great catch from Tom Bassett, but Manitoba brought in another point to tie the game once again at 11-11, double game point. The New England team demonstrated their exemplary spirit in this last point of semifinals, as a completed huck (followed by another pass in what would have been a score for New England) was sent back in an uncontested stall 15-yards in front of Manitoba’s scoring end zone. After the turn, Manitoba played extremely patient offense, dumping and swinging over and over until someone finally got open and they scored to win the game in their third humongous comeback of the tournament, 12-11, to face Cincinnati in the final.

Final

Uncertainty surrounded the predicted outcome of the final match-up between Cincinnati and Manitoba. Cincinnati had decisively beaten the Canadian team just earlier in the day, and Manitoba was exhausted after its long and emotional semifinal game against New England. However, Manitoba was becoming known as the “comeback team,” and exhilaration from last win was bound to help them bring out their best. Cincinnati pulled to Manitoba and set their zone defense, but Manitoba broke it well and scored the first point, 1-0. Cincinnati chose to play four women in the next point. Turnover after turnover plagued both teams as nervousness, aided by the strong wind, caused poor throws and drops. The four-women point benefited Manitoba more than Cincinnati as a connection between Samie Lovat and Melanie Dorie brought the score to 2-0. The wind picked up some, and it seemed Cincinnati was in a hucking rut as deep throws went up and were incomplete time and time again. Manitoba eventually scored, 3-0, prompting a timeout call from Cincinnati. A nice huck by Manitoba resulted in another score, 4-0, and Cincinnati started to get worried. Manitoba set a zone and Cincinnati struggled to break it, but they calmed down on the hucks and patient offense resulted in a score to finally enter the game, 4-1. Points continued to be long as Cincinnati struggled with turnovers and Manitoba was starting to get tired. Manitoba was able to find the hucks, as well as work it short, and they scored two more points to go up 6-1. Cincinnati finally connected on a deep throw and brought the score to 6-2. Turnovers were now more a result of good defense than poor throws, although throwers were having trouble placing hucks in the wind. Scott Chadwick scored his second point for his team in the game to bring the score to 6-3, and Cincinnati was starting to dream of a comeback. Manitoba crushed those dreams with a relatively short point to go up 7-3. Cincinnati, desperately wanting to score again before half, played very hard defense but nerves were still clearly affecting their playing. This point was extremely long as huck after huck was incomplete, and exhaustion caused turfed discs and drops. Finally, an awesome layout catch by #13 Samie Lovat in the end zone gave Manitoba the half, 8-3, with only about 15 minutes until soft cap. Another hard fought point followed half and the soft cap whistle was blown with the score still at 8-3. Manitoba finally worked the disc in once again to score 9-3, game to 11. Both teams began to play frantic offense, picking up the disc immediately after a turnover from the other team and throwing it right away, often resulting in yet another turnover. After tons of incomplete hucks, a connection was finally made for Manitoba to go up 10-3, and Cincinnati lost hope of a comeback as hard cap was only a few minutes away and it was game point for Manitoba. After more huck-and-turn exchanges, Manitoba finally put it in, Sean Brooks to Matthew Artemiuk for the final score just minutes before the hard cap whistle is blown. Manitoba MOFO wins the Mixed division, 11-3 over Cincinnati OCD.

Dean Wright's Reports from WUGC 2004

2006-07-15T23:01:00.000-05:00

DAY 1 After day one it is Canada's Juniors 3, others 0.

The Junior Men started the day playing our hosts from Finland. We had a total of five turn overs all game. Our offense could not be matched by the Finns defense. Handlers and cutters were all strong. Some defensive highlights: Teddy's layout d-blocks that led to at least three first half points. Eric, Yvan, Garrett and Dan all making at least one acrobatic defensive plays. Despite this our defense has definite room for improvement. Final score Canada 17, Finland 3.
Game two, six hours later against European Champs Sweden, began in a torrential downpour. This caused both teams to have a mild case of the drops. But, the Canadians managed to recover and took control of the game. Sweden really had no opportunity to catch up and Canada went on to win 17-4.

Once again our offense was strong, in fact it even improved in the second half, as we started to take advantage of our deep threat. With cutters all moving at the same time and handlers in constant motion, the Swedish defenders had no idea which way to go. Lay-out points by Josh and Raefel, along with several guys skying their defenders were highlights of the game. Handlers basically controlled the game.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to attend the Junior Women's game. But, they didn't take long to walk over Great Britain, 17-0. When I asked about the players who stuck out, the answer was "everyone". Breat Britain just couldn't keep up.

Today's weather was quite interesting, as it has been since we arrived on Thursday. Sun, clouds, rain, cool, warm and some wind from time to time. The bus driver told me today that Finland has set record levels of rainfall this year. The fields are incredibly soft and green (actually mud now). Hopefully, they will last the week.

P.S. All of Canada's teams won all of their games today, the only country to do so. This includes the women beating USA 17-10 (an excellent game to watch).

Day 2

Sorry for the delay. I wasn't able to get on the internet yesterday. In any case, another great day for Canada (despite our first loss).

The Junior Open team won both games quite convincingly. Game one was against Switzerland, a team of somewhat athletic inexperienced players. A score of 17-2 only took 58 minutes to play. All players shared the field time equally and all played well...no one really shone. It is great to have Richard playing regularly after being injured throughout the entire training camp. From the looks of it, he is at about 95%.

At the same time, the Junior Women were having it out with Team USA...a real battle! When I arrived Canada had just tied the game 10-10. Both teams played a stifling defense. At 12-11 for USA, the time cap went on. Despite the last two points taking 25 minutes, USA won, 14-11...not indicatve of Canada's great play. Expect these teams to meet in the finals on Friday.
The Junior women met Japan later in the day. With the bitter taste of defeat in their mouths, they weren't going to give Jaan a chance. Final scorre, Canada 17, Japan 7.

The Junior Open team played Russia in our second game of the day. Though we won 17-2, the boys probably had their weakest game so far (hopefully the only one)...Tomorrow it's USA.
All in all, a good day!

Day 3

Each team has played one game so far. The Open team had an amazing game with USA. Right from the start, it was evident that it was going to be a hard fought battle. The jitters and a slippery disc caused a few too many unforced turn overs in the first half. USA took the half 9-5. Canada was not pleased! With eight points later, it was 11-11. The teams traded points...great throws, defense and total focus from both teams. The cap went on with Canada up 14-13, game to 16. A 35 minute battle followed, with Canada on the wrong side of the win unfortunately. Despite losing the game, spirits were high, knowing that we controlled the second half of the game. USA seems a little less cocky now...hmmm.

I haven't heard the results of the Junior Women's game yet.

All of the other Canadian teams continue to roll, beating all comers.

End of Day 3.The Junior men played Great Britain yesterday evening. Great Britain has several players that attended Worlds in Latvia two years ago. They were very excited about playing Canada again, considering they have been playing quite well this year. Unfortunately for the kids from GB, Team Canada wasn't prepared to let them get too excited. Despite four players on the sideline due to sickness or mild injuries (and one more part way through the game), we only took 65 minutes to win 17-3. Dave, Josh and Andrei (part of the Winnipeg Connection) played a lot and played well. Hopes are that some of our injuries will heal and the whole team will be ready to play on Friday, in preparation for the playoffs.

The Junior Women played Finland yesterday. They weren't very kind to the hosts, defeating them 17-5. Apparently, Finland gave the girls one of their toughest games of the week so far. The report was that all played well again.

Day 4 (Wednesday)

The day started early with a game with Japan. The guys were very excited about playing them, as they have very "cool jerseys". Once again, a few players sat out (Teddy, Alex R., Andy, and Dan). The team played well after getting the sleep out their eyes. Japan is a very athletic hard working team. With more develoed skills, they will be a very strong team. The game ended Canada 17, Japan 3.

The Junior Women played Australia this morning, winning 17-3. This afternoon, they beat Sweden 17-4. It seems that they are destined to meet USA in the finals on Friday. The report from Marie, one of the coaches is that the girls are getting stronger and stronger each day...a very good sign! I'm sorry i don't have much detail on these games, as we are often playing at sites that are 40 minutes apart by bus.

The Junior Men's last game of the day was against Germany, one of two undefeated teams in the tournament (until they met us). Canada was quick to let the Germans know that they did not belong ahead of us in the standings. An impressive game pl ayed to 17-4. As a young team, the Germans will be very strong in a year or two. Garrett played well, dmonstrating a perfect Atlanta offense. All played well.

Injuries are starting to mend. Alex was able to play today. Teddy got in for a few points. Andy thinks that he will be ready by Thursday to play a couple of points. Dan is now on anti-biotics for an infected throat.

Hopefully, we will be ready to pick our game up to the next level tomorrow, in preparation for the playoffs on Friday.

Day 5

Hey there, All is well in the land of Canadian Junior Ultimate. Both teams are playing in the finals today. Last night, the women played Japan in the semi-finals, winning quite convincingly, 17-8. The girls arrived at the team dinner very excited, yet confident in their accomplishments. The dinner was hosted by the Hislop family, at a local hotel...what an amazing spread (salmon, chicken, reindeer, two salads, several types of bread, huge amounts of ice cream, fresh fruit and chocolate sauce that would make my dad drool). The finals take place at 1:00 p.m. today(just an hour away).

Yesterday, the boys took on Australia (17-2) and South Africa (17-5). Both were fun games, but the team was getting rather antsy wanting to get to the playoffs. We didn't play our best Ultimate. The South African team is quite a neat team. It is comprised of several kids from the townships near Johannesburg. They are incredibly athletic and they sure have fun playing Ultimate. They've entertained people all week with dancing and singing on the buses to and from games, as well as on the sidelines. I was happy to trade one of my Canada jerseys with the team's assistant coach.

This morning, Team Canada played Germany in the semi-finals. It was a real battle. Germany's offense was very difficult to stop. They were most definitely pumped up for the game. Our defense did manage a few timely turn-overs. We led throughout the game, and held on to a 17-10 win. It was a great warm-up game for this evening's final game with (you guessed it) USA. From the sounds of the talk around Disc Central, most people will be cheering for Canada. The guys are really excited, yet staying calm and getting mentally ready for the biggest game of their lives. This coach is trying to keep a calm look, despite the butterflies eating up his insides.

Finals

Congratulations go out to the Canadian Junior Women's team, World Champions. They met USA this afternoon with a strong game plan, and they never waivered from it. Defense was the name of their game! Everyone played strong, but a couple of players really stood out in my mind. Kaitlyn was unbelievable on defense, with no less than 10 lay-out or run-through d's. Kira played well beyond her height on defense. On offense, all cylinders were firing and everything ran as planned. The Canadians were able to walk through the American zone defense (which seemed to frustrate Canada in their round-robin game). Person-to-person couldn't stop the Canadian's either. Team Canada built up an early lead and just kept running. In the end the score was World Champs 17, USA 8.

The Junior Men's team didn't have the same type of success. The game was played in the main stadium in front of a large crowd. The guys started the first point flat, not even getting a sniff on defense. Unfortunately, this seemed to be the theme for the entire game. Defense was often a step behind and offense was not clicking today. Having said that, the U.S. team played as perfect a game as I have ever seen. I am sure that they had no more than five mistakes in the game. The offense was picture perfect and the defense was relentless. The Americans definitely deserved to win today. The final score was 17-9.

As coach, I am very proud of our team. Since training camp began two weeks ago, they have come together as a phenomenally strong junior team. They are close friends and good teammates now! Despite looking forward to a rest, I will miss being with these kids when we separate on Sunday.

All of the 37 athletes have performed admirably and have done our country proud! There is no doubt that they are proud to be Canadian. If you see any of them in the near future, please be sure to congratulate them and thank them for representing us so well.

This is my last report...thanks for reading my ramblings.

Team History

2006-06-13T15:25:00.001-05:00

MOFO is the elite Winnipeg-based juniors club touring ultimate team. "Masters Of Flying Objects" is consistently one of the most competitive junior ultimate teams in the country and is a perennial contender for the National Juniors division title at the Canadian Ultimate Championships every year.

MOFO owes its illustrious history of consistently strong results and near-domination of the Canadian Junior ultimate scene to a combination of : 1) a well-established and successful Winnipeg ultimate program, 2) the pure talent, drive, and determination of Winnipeg junior players, and 3) phenomenal coaching staff. It is even more impressive that MOFO is based out of a city with such a small population compared with other significantly larger ultimate centers.

Winnipeg's success in ultimate at the Junior level first was realized when the Canadian Junior Ultimate Coordinator, Dean Wright, introduced a Juniors Division into the Canadian Ultimate Championships when the event was held in Winnipeg in 1994. Winnipeg went on to claim the first Junior title in the division's inaugural year. MOFO was technically founded in 1998, although its creation may only have been as simple as the decision to pick a permanent team name to establish a recognizable dynasty in the junior ultimate community. MOFO's initial successes could be attributed to the stellar organizing and coaching of Dean Wright (who has been deemed the "founder of junior ultimate in Canada"). After going through some growing pains and reworking of its coaching structure and staff, MOFO found the right formula to achieve success, eventually becoming the first team to win three consecutive Juniors division titles under the tutelage of coach and MOFO alum, Colin Yeung.

MOFO consistently produces strong players who represent the country on the national junior teams competing at the World Ultimate and Guts Championships and at the World Junior Ultimate Championships. In addition to replenishing the ranks of Winnipeg's adult club touring teams General Strike, Crave, and Chaos, previous MOFO alumni have eventually gone on to play on such renowned club teams as GOAT, Furious George, Phoenix, Invictus, TFP, Toronto Lotus, Ottawa Capitals, and Vancouver Roughriders, as well as the University club teams UBC Thunderbirds and Queen's Mothership. MOFO will always have a surplus of talented and skilled players with which to fill its roster, and it is exciting to think of what MOFO will accomplish as its future unfolds.
