This is your life, Zen Tofu!
No Borders, Ottawa, July, 1995.
We were a fledgling team, and it showed. We went through this
tournament with a perfect 0-6 record. However, in the this tournament,
the seeds of Zen Tofu were planted. The two streams of co-op got
together and figured things out. Although the team had never played
together before, that would soon change, and from the forge of travail,
Zen Tofu would be born.
Canadian University Ultimate Championships, Carleton, 1995
Record: 1-6
McGill B 14-12 loss
Ottawa U 15-3 loss
UBC 15-4 loss
Carleton 15-4 loss
Guelph 15-10 loss
Algonquin 13-11 WIN
McGill B 13-10 loss
The highlights of this tournament were stellar performances against
McGill, Guelph, UBC, and Carleton. We didn't win many games, but our
spirit and heart showed, and we won many new friends. This tournament
also featured our first win as a team. It wasn't a pretty win, especially
considering that the other team only had six players, one of which was
half-drunk. But it was our first win, nonetheless. We finished 10th
out of a field of 12 teams. Thus began our quest for recognition and
respect.
Victory at home, Fall 1995
In the Fall term, we won a major victory for ultimate here in the
University of Waterloo. The Campus Recreation department officially
ran a co-rec league. A whopping 22 teams registered, and although
most of them were new to the sport, we knew that ultimate had a hold
on the University population, and it would take some time before it
would let go...
