Bonne Année a Tous!

OCUA and FUO's collaborative tournament was held January 4th-5th 2013, at the new recreational complex in Gatineau, and many Glide players made it out for the fun.

 

One of Glide's affiliated tournament teams - AstroGLIDE - did particularly well! Christmas turkey and wine aside, AstroGLIDE played a stellar tournament to beat seed and place 3^rd.  

Highlights include: Jen Saxe catching hammers in the endzone on a 6-foot tall girl, Eric Jacques skying GOAT players repeatedly (when will they respect him on the deep?), and Astro-associate Kate Cavallaro staying classy while shutting down See Some Pork’s key female handler.

 

Astro had a blast at this tournament. Thanks to OCUA and FUO for organizing; excellent competition from Squeezy Lemons, Evolve, Chewbacrew, Dynamite, G’s Pot, and See Some Pork; and positive, constructive attitudes from teammates.

 

AstroGLIDE is looking forward to Coup de Foudre in February, and Mars Attaque in March! See you on the circuit!

GLIDE Rocks the 4v4!

GLIDE has moved inside for the winter – look out 4x4!

G1 and G2 (clever names - we know...) have returned with a vengeance to the OCUA East Sunday 4x4 league.  With a mix of GLIDE veterans and new talent, these two teams are going to be a challenge to beat!

AstroGLIDE (obviously so-named because we play on Astro Turf! Right...) is trying out the new Branchaud-Brière Complex in FUO’s Fall Sunday session.  So far, we’ve been very impressed with both the excellent new facility and the level of spirited competition. 

AstroGLIDE is also participating in the Quebec CQU4 circuit, and is still coming down from a HUGE performance at Montreal’s Movember tournament.  Going in seeded 26^th, Astro improved seed by thirteen spots to tie for 13/14.  This placed Astro as the top-finishing Ottawa team in the tournament.  We were especially happy with a universe loss to EURQ (9^th place) and a solid win against Mephisto/Odyssey-based Terrain #4 (15/16).  Next up, Bye-Bye in Trois-Rivières at the end of the month!
