This year, North Bay claimed the championship for the first time in 26 attempts. It was a star studded team that, along with Phoenix, provided an excellent final that I can't wait to watch without any distractions!
Also congratulations to Mule, which won the Sean Green Cup. Mule captain Dave Brown, a friend of Sean Green, was extremely pleased to win the trophy named in honor of his late friend for the first time.

Ottawa's best womens team has returned to the top of No Borders! Stella played a great tournament and saved their best for the Saturday showcase game and Sunday final versus Team Canada Juniors.
The tournament featured a number of young womens club teams that showed lots of promise and talent. In particular, new team EXO from Sherbrooke looked like a promising athletic squad.

Nice, except Roy beat Max Power to finish 15th.
How about Winnipeg finishing 3rd in both men's and women's? Interesting...
Winnipeg finishing 3rd in both divisions is not that surprising IMO.
General Strike and Fusion really seem to have it together the past two years. Even when missing some of their best home grown talent (e.g. Mark Lloyd)
I didn't get to watch them enough this year.. but several people told me that Strike dictated a lot of the play in their semi versus NADS (just a lot of turns).
I saw Leah Parker put on a zone cutter clinic versus Lily on Saturday. It's tough to dominate a good zone when you don't assume a handler position, but her field sense and disc movement was very impressive.
