Maple Grove Ultimate has been fairly dormant during the summer season, but is about to kick off a wave of competition here in late July and early August. On Thursday July 31st, Maple Grove will face off with second year club team A Capella Ultimate. You'll remember A Capella because coach Mark Waananen and former players DJ Rekstad, Nate Haines, and Cullen Garves are all on that team. This will be a fun matchup and good gauge of the team's level of play. Depending on who is able to attend, A Capella could be sporting multiple division one college players or a bunch of mid twenties scrubs.
Maple Grove's next competition will be August 2nd in Rochester for the 3rd Annual Chuck Hermann Ultimate Frisbee Tournament. Excitingly enough A Capella will also be in attendance, possibly with a split squad. Next Thursday's scrimmage could be a preview of a tournament matchup, or even an early showing of the club's future stars. Already having recruited both DJ and Cullen, it's no secret that Dylan and Mitchell will not be far behind in joining their older brothers on the club scene.
Maple Grove is also expected to possibly debut some of their new recruits in the upcoming scrimmage. Sam Franta, Clark Wieneke, and Cal McKinny are all players that are rumored to have interest in joining the 2015 campaign. More news to come.
