Connecticut (1)
-Mike Rice
His name has been mentioned before, Ultiworld once live tweeted that he was taking over the game when UConn beat Colorado. Not sure what he looks like, I think he’s tall, like at least 5’10’, keep an eye out for him.
-Gavin Clemmey
Already has a job lined up for the summer. Second highest earner between himself and girlfriend. Has a girlfriend.
-Jake Hansen
One of their senior captains, and was invited to the women’s U24 National team tryouts. This past year has been a big one for him, trying his first beer (didn’t like it). His big downfall is his weak stomach, can eat two slices of pizza at most.
-Corey Danko
Avid family man, he still kisses his parents on the lips. Can cover most sophomores and is quickly mastering the 10 yard backhand. Has a girlfriend.
-Owen Casey
D-handler who terrorizes offenses and his own team’s freshmen who can’t seem to catch a goddamn under (Seriously Chris how hard can it be). Keep an eye out for his beard which blends seamlessly into his chest hair. Has a girlfriend, which is pretty sweet.
-Wally Esker
O-cutter who has only improved his waistline since joining the team. Has a girlfriend, which is surprising.
-Pat Kunkel
Probably the only kid in the region who actually knows how to throw a frisbee, handler who has been tearing it up for the team all year. Has no problem dunking on 8 foot hoops.
-Alex Jayakar
Easily has one of the strongest livers in the Region. While trapped in a 5’9” body, Alex has managed to become a premier deep cutter, often winning the majority of matchups against kids 3, sometimes even 4 inches shorter than he is.
-Christian Bonebrake
If you ask anyone who the best defender in the region is they’ll say Christian. Not because he’s actually the best but because he has paper thin skin. Looking for a girlfriend.
-Head Coach: Bryan Jones
I don’t know a lot about him, but he does coaches PoNY. Lists Charlie Eisenhood as an emergency contact, and is best friends with Nathan Shapiro of Syracuse. Says he has a girlfriend.
-Dan Reilly
This senior captain unfortunately tore his ACL. With that being said, would still be able to beat half the team’s in the Metro East up-line.
Toronto (2)
The fact that Toronto is a two seed is proof that this region needs to be redrawn.
-Bretton Tan
Like the entire ultimate community, I have not watched Toronto or Bretton play in a single regular season game; but I did have the pleasure of watching GOAT lose its Nationals bid to Dig.
Cornell (3)
Lost to a B team this year but everyone needs to relax. Can confirm they were barely a B team, these guys were good. Many of them were hitting open unders despite being forced flick. It was a good B-Team. Some people have claimed that Cornell’s poor results this season have been due to injuries. Others say it’s because they’re bad.
-Robert Rickert
Is a tall, strong, and handsome cutter. Uses his height like an English major uses his tuition at Cornell. Ineffectively
-Josh Klein
Quick handler with great lefty backhands, pretty good scoobers, and average flick hucks. Probably their best player, but is studying abroad and no longer plays frisbee.
-Joe Thompson
Blew it his senior year. Still reeling from this loss.
-Bryan Zheng
Scored a perfect 800 on his Math SAT’s, but still can’t seem to make his parents proud.
Princeton (4)
-Zane Friedkin
This kid has played for impressive club teams like Youngbloods, New Amsterdam, and PoNY’s B-team. Once boasted an impressive 100% conversion rate for inside flicks for scores. This was noted to be the first time anyone cared enough about frisbee to actually keep stats. His numbers have decreased steadily since.
NYU
Much like a timid 7th grade boy, NYU has been nervous and questioning their masculinity all season long.
-Jesse Rice
The shining beacon of hope for this team. if NYU makes it deep into the Metro East Regionals championship bracket, he will be the guy dragging his team kicking and screaming to a game they will eventually decide to forfeit.
Syracuse
Despite the fact they finished 5th in their section, barely making Metro East Regionals, and will likely be seeded below a few B teams, Syracuse has a few guys that absolutely deserve to be mentioned in POTY and FOTY.
-Brian Walsh
When Syracuse gets a break, watch out for D-line handler Brian Walsh. I haven’t seen them get a break, but I’ve heard they got one once. Walsh breaks ankles, hearts, and his parents spirit on and off the field.
-Nathan Shapiro
Should have made PoNY but got absolutely robbed. Routinely throws around throws in practice that almost never get hand blocked.
-Adam Newman
Still too timid to call picks in game.
Rutgers
Let’s talk about Rutgers. Albert and Jibran were the thunder and lightning that dominated the Metro East. As far as current players, not much; but, oh my god, remember those guys? Wow. If only, amirite?They came out on top against Maryland-Baltimore County in an absolute shootout: 8-7.
Can Shashank be the redemption this team needs? Doubtful
Suny Albany
-Mike Woods
Mike Woods has a great resume. Not only is he a tremendous frisbee player but he also volunteers with the Albany frisbee team teaching players how to throw, read, and write. If Woods played on any other team you’d notice him. Check out his Callahan here (https://soundcloud.com/wuuds)
