The U of MN-Duluth Northern Lights Ultimate is again hosting their annual winter indoor tounament in Duluth MN.
The "college" division, in which Hurt will participate, starts on Sunday January 17 and concludes Monday January 18. The plan as of now is to leave Hopkins on Sunday morning, stay at a hotel in Duluth on Sunday night, and drive back on Monday.
Varsity boys, please comment on this post to notify coaches about your availability. We should have the space to accommodate all varsity players who are interested. Expect to leave for Duluth around 8 AM on Sunday 1/17 and return by 5 or 6 PM on Monday 1/18.
Parents, never been to an ultimate tournament? Chaperon your son's team! We are looking for about four parents to drive players in your car to and from Duluth. Parents, you would be responsible for the cost of your lodging for the one evening we are staying in Duluth, Sunday 1/17.
More information to come. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Boys Workouts
Every MONDAY and WEDNESDAY, there will be workouts after school at 3 in the Lindbergh Center. Everyone is welcome to and should come get faster and stronger but it is mandatory for Varsity.
Hopkins Varsity Ultimate
Hopkins Varsity Boys,
We are starting to get into the full swing of the winter season and the number of people at practices and workouts is bad. Being on Varsity is a big responsibility and it means that you can't just miss practice because you feel like it. So for now on, I will be keeping track of attendance. If you miss practice and you don't notify a captain or if it's a bad excuse, you will be running a certain amount of killers at the start of practice. I know a lot of you have other sports, so this is not focused towards you guys. Get it together boys.

*UPDATED* Upcoming Practices and Hurt Events
Hi Guys -
As you may notice on the right hand menu, our winter practice space is coming together.
Here's a quick update on the next week ahead:
The Girls and Varsity teams have a practice on Sunday 12/6 from 8-10 AM at the Plymouth dome. We only have half a field on this day, so we don't have enough room for all three teams this time. There will be more space available throughout the winter and everyone *should* get some time to use this facility.
The JV team has practice on Tuesday 12/8 from 5:15-7 PM at Williston Center. We don't officially get the court until 5:30, but be there early so you have some time to change your shoes, etc. Please bring indoor shoes as this is a synthetic basketball court floor. Bring a WHITE shirt, a DARK shirt, YOUR OWN WATER, and a disc as well.
The Girls and Varsity teams have been invited to St. Olaf in Northfield, MN, on Saturday 12/12 for an indoor scrimmage. The Girls are going from 10 AM - 12 PM, and the Boys Varsity from 12-2 PM.
Both of these trips, though indoor, are weather permitting (i.e., we're not driving through a blizzard). Thanks to Hurt Alum Andrew 'RZR' Kelley for inviting us!
Again, in this flu season, sharing water is IRRESPONSIBLE. Do not share water and get your teammates sick! Bring your own bottle or use the water fountain at Williston.

Welcome to the Hurt Family, Evie!
Evelyn Rae Vetter Raisanen was born into the Hopkins Hurt family on Saturday, November 21, 2009. "Evie" is the first daughter of our former coach, Jake, and his wife Christina. Both Mom and Baby are healthy, though as you can see above, Dad is tired already!
Congrats Jake and Christina!!!
Varsity Practice - Tues 12/1 - Williston
Hello Kiddos -
I hope you all ate too much turkey and other things over the weekend, and got to spend some quality time with those close to you!
Hurt is back to work, tomorrow night (Tuesday 12/1), the Varsity Boys' team has practice from 5:15-7 PM at the Williston Center. You can find out where the Williston Center is by checking the Hopkins Ultimate map.
We get the courts at 5:30, but please be there at 5:15 so you have some time to get your shoes on, warm up on the sidelines (NOT ON THE COURT), etc.
For those who have never been, the Williston space is a hardwood gym floor. Please wear appropriate footwear, but don't wear the same shoes on the court that you wore outside if you can help it. Continue to bring everything else needed for a practice, including a WHITE shirt, a DARK shirt, a DISC, and YOUR OWN WATER.
IN THIS FLU SEASON, SHARING/STEALING FROM YOUR TEAMMATES' WATER BOTTLE(s) IS UNACCEPTABLE AND IRRESPONSIBLE. Don't get your brothers sick, bring your own water!
Please call me if you are unable to make it or if you have any questions.

Workout with Colin "Tater" Camp
Hurt’ems:
For those of you that don’t know me, my name is Colin Camp. I was on the team the last three years and I am now a freshman at Madison.
I’ll be home this weekend for break and since I plan on working out, I’d like to extend an invitation to any of you (jv, girls, varsity) to come join me for a college-level type workout. It will be good opportunity to learn some of the hard work that it takes to become a great ultimate player and a national level team.
If you’re interested I’ll be at Lindbergh Center on Wednesday at 3 pm and would love to meet some new faces and see some I already know.
If you plan on attending or are even considering it, write in the comments so I have an idea of the number of people who will be there.
Happy Holidays,
Colin Camp
p.s. Hope to see some alumni there as well!

Down Time
Hey Hurtems -
As you may have noticed, things have slowed down (officially) over the past week as we transition from outdoor space to our indoor season and approach the holidays. Official practice time and space is coming shortly, but now is a great time to work on your own and improve yourself individually.
Get in the gym, continue (or start) working out on your quickness and strength. Or don't get in the gym - get outside to your backyard or a park and throw by yourself or with a friend!
If you are confused or uncertain about what you can do to make yourself better, talk to your captains and coaches.
This is the time to get better, it will pay off in the spring!!

What happens next...
A few things you should keep in mind as we wait for snow and indoor gym space:
1. Please continue to check the blog. This is especially important for fundraising opportunities and team workouts.
2. There is no reason why your winter workouts can't start today. If you want to know what you can do to get better before spring practices start, talk to a captain or a coach.
3. If you're injured, please take the time to heal completely.
4. Hang out with your teammates. Get to know them and understand their timing etc. This non-ultimate time will translate to on the field communication and teamwork. Promise.
Coming soon to the blog: important winter fundraising plans.
Thank you,
Coaches

Varsity Practice Sunday Night - Be There!!!
Hi Varsity Team -
On Sunday night, we have been invited by the U of M Grey Duck team to come and practice with them. Location is classified (it's on the Minneapolis campus), but let me just say that "Ultimate is back on Campus!"
Here's what you need to know...
Practice goes from 7:30-10 PM. We will be meeting at Lindbergh at 6:45 PM Sunday night, and will be back at Lindbergh by 10:30 PM. Those who can drive, please plan on driving. Bring some change for parking meters, as we will be parking on the streets. If I remember correctly, the meters only accept quarters.
Bring a white (not gray) shirt, a dark (not gray) shirt, your OWN water bottle, cleats, and dress for the weather.
This is an opportunity not to be missed, so plan your weekend accordingly (homework, etc.) so that you can make this practice. There are six distinguished Hurt alums on this team (Michael Arenson, Peter Schmitt, Greg Arenson, Mike Tradewell, Tom Rosengren, Simon Gottlieb), so it will be a great chance to see some familiar faces and learn from a team that qualified for the 2009 UPA College National Championships!
Please leave a comment if you are available to go, and if so, if you can drive.
Thanks,
Mikey K

We only have 1 or 2 more outdoor practices for the fall! It would be really nice to have enough girls to scrimmage because we'll be splitting off from the boys for our own practices. If you can't make it PLEASE let one of the captains or coaches know as soon as you know you won't be able to come. As soon as the schedule is up, feel free to post if you are coming or not here.
Please either fill in your availability in the Google doc or post. Your responses determine when we'll be having practice this week.

HBTS recap
Congratulations to both Hopkins teams who attended Hold Back the Snow!!
Hopkins Black stressed everyone out with 3 consecutive wins on universe point on Sunday to take the Championship. It's about the memories and the snuggy.
Hopkins Silver broke seed, finishing 11th of 21 teams. From what I saw, there were some highlight reel plays and steady improvement over the course of the weekend. Great work!
Rest up, stretch, and rehydrate. We'll see you at practice.
Erin
PS. If anyone found an Ipod touch on the bus, please contact Benji.

Winnipeg is cold!
Scratch the 50 degrees -- not even close. It was windy too. Kids held up well and played well too.
Black team went 4-0. Silver finished the day 2-2.
Finished dinner at the barbeque and will relax by the pool or in the hotel rooms for the remainder of the evening.

All 36 players arrived in Winnipeg without incident although we nearly had to call Coach Lou's parents for permission to take him to Canada. Our border crossing was record fast.
Both teams will have breakfast and head to the park for four games and a barbeque today. Temp may get as high as 50 degrees.
Here is the web site of the event so you can see the schedule etc.

But first, thanks to the 10 parents who are chaperoning the trip: Diane Arenson, Sheri Brenden, Steve Bumsted, John Dailey, Jennifer Kreiman, Jon Kachelmacher (driving),Ken Raskin, Wendi and Rick Rosenstein, and Judy Saltzman. We couldn't do the trip without their support. The players will be in good hands.
Trip info: Travel arrangement details and permission forms are available here.
Parking: Adath Jeshurun Synagogue will allow cars to be parked in the southeast corner (farthest away from the building) of the parking lot If you choose to leave your car there over the weekend, Adath is not responsible for any damage or theft that happens to your car. You park your car there at your own risk.
Bus boarding and loading: Fri., 11:45 a.m.-12:30 at Adath Jeshurun lot. Passports and birth certificates must be in-hand in order to board the bus.
The following is a packing list from "H" -- a HErt coach who went to Winnipeg last year.

The following is a packing list from "H" -- a HErt coach who went to Winnipeg last year.
- Cleats (and a back-up pair if you have them)
- Hopkins light jersey and black jersey (for new players, any black or white shirt is fine, non-cotton, synthetic material is best)
- Shorts
- Rain jacket and warm jacket and/or vest, something that will stop the wind
- Long underwear/performance layer for top and bottom (bring layers, no cotton)
- Hats: stocking for warmth and one to block sun
- Mittens or gloves
- Socks, bring extra – wool and/or synthetic, or anything but cotton is best! Cotton socks slip when wet, and create friction, which can give you blisters. They don't dry, hence leaving you with cold, uncomfortable feet. They will be more expensive but are worth the investment. Any sports/outdoors store should have these.
- Disc, if you have one (with your name on the back)
- UPA Rules Book (coaches will bring some for new players to read)
- Reusable water bottle(s)! Hopkins urges all players to have reusable bottles at practices and tournaments. Please be responsible citizens!
- Appropriate foodstuffs for fuel (think carbs and protein - some snacks provided, but best to provide your own)
- Extra shoelaces!!!
- 1st aid items (personal inhaler, moleskin for blisters, pre-wrap if you use it often, Icyhot) Sunblock! You have a greater chance of burning on cloudy days.
- Cash to buy merchandise and food ($50-60 recommended for meals)

Players will be meeting at 7:00 AM both Saturday and Sunday at the Lindbergh parking lot and carpooling to Northfield. Parents are welcome to attend!
[[UPDATE]] Boys, this is a varsity level tournament and we will be bringing a limited number of players. We'll choose the roster based on seniority and experience. If you are interested in attending this tournament, please post in the comment section or talk to your captains at school. We'll post a final roster later this week. Girls have been commenting in another post about their availability.
Things to bring to this tournament:
- a WHITE (not gray) shirt
- a BLACK (or dark) shirt
- athletic shorts and socks
- cleats
- a disc, if you have one
- a water bottle (or two)
- sunblock and a hat
- rain and cold gear (who knows what the weather will be like?)
Northfield is less than an hour away, right off Exit 69 (hence the tourney name!) on I-35 south of the Cities. Upperclassmen, please post in the comments if you are able to drive. Also, parents, if you plan to attend the whole day and would be willing to drive some players, please also post in the comments. Gas costs will be the individual responsibility of each car and split amongst those in the car.
The per player cost for this tournament (covering the tourney entry fee and coaching stipends/costs) is $20 per player. Please bring this to practice on Thursday, or with you on Saturday morning. Checks can be made out to "Hopkins Ultimate." Please pay before we leave on Saturday or you will not be able to attend. Questions or concerns please contact Sheri at slbrenden@comcast.net. Some food and water will be provided by the tournament, but please bring some snacks of your own or money to buy food if you so choose.
The captains' meeting is at 8:15 at the following location in Northfield:
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=510+East+Jefferson+Parkway,Northfield,MN+55057&ie=UTF8&ll=44.441992,-93.164116&spn=0.003631,0.007027&t=h&z=17&iwloc=A

9/20 FALL LEAGUE GAME
Hey guys,
Our game this week is at 1:45 at Lake Nokomis, be there at 1:15. We're playing South Squall, this is another high school team, so it should be a good match up.
REMEMBER WEAR BLACK AND BRING YOUR WAIVER IF YOU HAVEN'T!
Cold Front Cooldown - Next Saturday 9/26
Hey Team -
Next Saturday we will have two mixed (boys and girls combined) teams competing in the "Cold Front Cooldown." This is a one day tournament, hosted by Eden Prairie Cold Front Ultimate, on Saturday 9/26. As this is a local and one-day tourney, there is no additional per player cost for this tournament. The club has covered the tournament fee.
This tournament is being held at the Twin City Polo Club in Independence, MN, just west of Maple Plain. All players are invited to attend. Players must have their Hurt registrations materials submitted to participate.
As this is the same weekend as the UPA Northwest Plains Sectional qualifier (a tournament for adult Ultimate players), most if not all of the coaches will be playing at this tournament. Fortunately, this tournament also is located at the Twin City Polo Club on Saturday and Sunday. This means that coaches Mikey K, Erin, Lou, and Tom will all be out at the fields, but for the mot part unable to coach. Captains will lead the teams, but we will need parent chaperons to supervise throughout the day. Parents, if you can attend for all or part of the day on Saturday, please post a comment on the blog also.
The following is a map of Hopkins Ultimate sites. Included on there is the location of the polo fields.
http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=112976841523924219467.00045e03e59e361d1fd7a&t=h&z=11
There will most likely be fruit, bagels, and water provided by the tournament, but players are encouraged to bring refillable water bottles and snacks for themselves. Players will be responsible for all of their own food in addition to what is provided by the tourney, so please be prepared.
Expect the first game to start around 9 am, and play to go until 4:30 or 5. Players will meet at Lindbergh to carpool if necessary, most likely meeting 1 hr, 45 min to 90 minutes before the first game. Carpooling details will be posted by captains by midweek.

Good job this weekend girls! You all played great and everyone improved a lot. However, we have a game on Monday against Cretin.
We are carpooling at the Lindbergh parking lot. Meet at 4:30ish and ready to leave by 4:45. If you are a junior/senior expect to drive. I'm coming late to the game, but everyone should meet there (even the gv kids). We need you to drive those who don't have licenses. The traffic is bad so that's why we're leaving early.

Kudos to Peter Ilten, Hustle Tournament Director
Another day remains, but if you are out at the polo grounds today, please thank our volunteer tournament director, Peter Ilten for his excellent work in planning and running the Hustle. Peter, an Ultimate player at Luther College is preparing for graduate school, and Mike Kinsella wooed him into taking on the Hustle.
Also spread the love to Rachel Abrams, a senior, who assisted with planning from day 1 and handled arrangements for our traveling teams, and Laurie Levin (Mama Brick), another planner and on-site score keeper.
Many more thanks still to come for the players, parents and coaches who helped in hundreds of ways!

The Hopkins Hustle is coming this weekend. This tournament is sponsored by our club and serves as a fundraiser for the organization. All three teams participate without charge, and they will be involved in helping with the event -- preparing fields, clean up, hosting, etc.
Here are a few things about the tournament:
* 20 open teams and 7 girls teams are participating. They will each play 6-7 games.
* The captains meeting is at 8 a.m. Sat and game play starts at 9 a.m. both days.
* All games will be at the Twin Cities Polo Grounds in Maple Plain
(Directions: Take Highway 12 west through Maple Plain to County Road 90.
Turn left (South) on County Road 90. Go 1 mile. Turn right (West) on Turner Road. Go 1/2 mile. The Polo Club is on the south side of the road.
* There will be a showcase game between Sub Zero and Minnesota's Grey Ducks on Sunday at 12:20.
* The Championship rounds are scheduled to start at 2 p.m. Sunday. Game play should be finished by 3:30 to 4 p.m.
* Traveling teams (6 teams from Winnipeg, Nashville and Madison) along with all the Hopkins players are invited to a potluck supper at West Junior High Saturday night between 5-7 p.m.
