Canada junior open

Profile

The rising Canadian Juniors scene was punctuated in 2003 when a high-schooler from Vancouver completed the game-winning pass to another Juniors player for Furious George’s dramatic 17-16 semifinal win over Boston’s Death or Glory at the UPA Championships. The Canadians have rapidly developed a rabid following for almost all of the principles of Ultimate and will be sending a skilled and competent team to Finland to compete it what promises to be the most difficult Juniors tournament ever.
