Ryan "Gnarlee" Lee

2007-10-01T13:57:00.001-07:00

Name: Ryan Lee #28

Position: Deep

Height/Weight: 6'3"/165

Team Role: Player ('03-'04), Captain ('05-'06)

From the very beginning, this former rookie-of-the-year started out as a hardcore offensive weapon, and he has grown even more offensive ever since. Gnarlee is a mainstay of both Queen's and Phoenix's scoring machines. But between his love for Metallica and Dr. DRE. . . .

Tom Dowler

2007-10-01T13:53:00.000-07:00

Name: Tom Dowler #26
Position: Handler
Height/Weight: 5"9'/165
Team Role: Player ('01-'07)

Another Vancouverite, Tom overcomes his perpetual state of injury every day to deliver smart, clutch handling and shoulder-wrenching layouts. A veteran of Mephisto, Tom earned the distinction of Finals MVP at the Canadian University Championships by catching a game-winning Callahan.

Adam Shaw

2007-10-01T13:50:00.001-07:00

Name: Adam Shaw #7

Position: Cutter Height/Weight: 5'8"/150 Team Role: Player ('03-05)

Shaw is a sneaky little man with rockets on his heels. Nobody else has his eye for opportunity, nor his almost psychokinetic ability to read a disc. Shaw is also a violently energetic drunk.

Andrew Gallant

2007-09-19T13:53:00.000-07:00

Name: Andrew Gallant #14
Position: Cutter
Height/Weight: 5'8"/150
Team Role: Player ('o4-'06)

Andrew is a Toronto native who brings solid, even-tempered play and an unflappable determination to be one of the most reliable members of the team.

Jeremiah Groen

Team Role: Player (?-'07)

Dean Vlahaki

2007-09-19T13:15:00.000-07:00

Name: Dean Vlahaki #17
Position: Cutter
Height/Weight: unknown/uknown
Team Role: Player ('o4-'0)
Captain ('06-'07)

Dean has two principal claims to greatness: he is Mothership's 2004-2005 rookie-of-the-year, and he is a startling lookalike of Phoenix's Derek "Franchise" Alexander. One of those special rookies whose athletic prowess is tempered by good judgment and field sense, Dean has solidly earned his place at the UPA Championships. He is expected to do even greater things for Queen's in years to come.

Eric Lau

2007-09-19T13:12:00.001-07:00

Name: Eric Lau #2
Position: Handler
Height/Weight: 5"1'/135
Team Role: Player/Web (o3'-?)

Alternately "Wee Man" or "Li'l Ric," Eric Lau has the lowest low-release out of the Mothership crew. From the beginning, he has had to work harder, think smarter, jump higher, and move faster than everyone else to compete at this level, and the result is a proficiently agile addition to the handler lineup. He's light, quick, and draws on a wellspring of "inner height," but his e-mails are unintelligible even when properly punctuated.

Jamie Miller

2007-09-19T13:02:00.000-07:00

Name: Jamie Miller #10

Position: Defender Height/Weight: 6"2'/168 Player: ('03-'05)

Jamie Miller is very probably the most cheerful ultimate player you'll ever meet. If you foul him, you will walk away in shameful guilt. Wherever he finds this font of inner peace, it shows in his smooth, unhurried, and excellent handling. You can possibly beat him, (editor's note: you will NOT beat him) but you will tire yourself out trying to defeat his spirit.

Alex Davis

2007-09-19T12:50:00.001-07:00

Name: Alex Davis #13

Position: Defender Height/Weight: 6'3"/170 Team Role: Player/Fitness Guru ('?-06)

Alex is a runner, skier, and climber who learned to catch to play ultimate. He coached the team on athletic conditioning and nutrition, making him the most unanimously hated member of the team.

Owen Blain

2006-06-13T12:38:00.000-07:00

Name: Owen Blain #6
Position: Deep
Height/Weight: 6'4"/180
Team Role: Assistant Captain ('04-'05)

Owen hates to be called by his nickname, but he'll respond to it anyway. He has been Queen's foremost strength in the deep field for the last four years. In the U.S., he is known as the notorious "green hat." A native of Vancouver, he now plays for Furious George.

Stuart Netherton

2006-06-13T12:37:00.001-07:00

Name: Stuart Netherton #42
Position: Mid
Height/Weight: 6'3"/200
Team Role: Vetran Flipcup Anchor

Stuart J. Netherton, or "Mad Cow" to the elite few, know Stu as the grandfather of Queen's Ultimate. Mad Cow has kept us in line for countless years on and off the field. Opponents beware of "the claw"which will sky your ass anytime, or the double knee-slide layout which has resulted in more then a few Callihans.

Sean Udow

2006-06-13T12:37:00.000-07:00

Name: Sean Udow #18
Position: Handler
Height/Weight: 5"7'/160
Team Role: Player ('01-'05)

"Porno" Udow, of the great Winnipeg dynasty of ultimate, comes by his nickname honestly (we'll leave it at that). Sean has been handling for Queen's for all four years, and his skill requires no hyperbole: he is very, very good at what he does, and the team would suffer dearly without him. It is that simple. Porno plays and practices with Winnipeg's elite General Strike.

Patrick Mooney

2006-06-13T12:36:00.000-07:00

Name: Patrick Mooney #19
Position: Handler
Height/Weight: 5"9'/unknown
Team Role: Player ('?-'?), Captain ('05-'06)

Mooney is Queen's most vocal and provocative player, and it is a small miracle no one has concussed him yet. Despite all the attention he draws to himself, he is one of the most frequently underestimated players of the team. He has more in-game footblocks and Callahans than anyone else on the team, and his sniping hucks make him a deadly valuable member of the offense.

Matt Hogel

2006-06-13T12:35:00.001-07:00

Name: Matthew Hogel #12
Position: Cutter
Height/Weight: 5"10'/170
Team Role: Player ('?-'05)

Hogel is a passionate player whose never-give-up attitude fires up the team's fury. His layout defense and tireless effort is matched only by his fashion sense in its ability to shock and awe. Hogel plays with Phoenix of Ottawa.

John Roberts

2006-06-13T12:35:00.000-07:00

Name: John Roberts #5
Position: Cutter
Height/Weight: 6'4"/180
Team Role: Player ('04-?)

Greg Seaton

2006-06-13T12:34:00.000-07:00

Name: Greg Seaton #27
Position: Cutter
Height/Weight: 6'1/ Unknown
Team Role: Player (?-'05)

Queen's oft-overlooked powerhouse behind-the-scenes is "the Wizard," Greg Seaton. Light, tall, fast and unflappable, "Endzone Greg" will happily keep Queen's in the game even when everything else is going wrong. Long or short, his haircut is the loudest statement he makes.

Adam Melynk

2006-06-13T12:31:00.001-07:00

Name: Adam Melynk #21
Position: Handler
Height/Weight: 5'10"/185
Team Role: Captain ('03-05)

Adam "Showtime" Melnyk is Mothership's MVP and ultimate guru. Easily the strongest handler to ever play for Queen's, he is a model of what relentless, vomit-inducing practice, training and conditioning can do for your gameplay. Melnyk has played both for GOAT and Phoenix.
