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.
- 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)

Great job organizing and communicating with us about this trip. ivan
Hey Hurt'ems-
There is nothing like making a trip back to this website to see that the legacy lives.
A word to the wise:
Enjoy these moments, this tournament. Its things like the absolutely delicious Cinnamon Butter, chicken noodle soup, hot chocolate, in addition to sweet layout d's and skies that make Ultimate the greatest game in the world.
Know that you have a plethora of people cheering for you all over the country. People are watching to see what the Hopkins Teams are going to come with next. Show them what we've got.
Enjoy the weekend. I will surely be checking score reporter to see how things are going. Keep our championship streaks alive.
Have fun, play good ultimate, think of the intangibles. It will be toasty warm. Remember, those that run the hardest for the longest win at the game of ultimate.
Hope all is well back in Minnesota,
Shaps
P.S. Seriously, if someone can snag me a little tub of that cinnamon butter I will forever be indebted.
