As the crowd stood and applauded the finale, few realized that the three players who executed this end game were only 19 years old. Double game point, and a weighty decision was made – who gets to play the final point of the game; perhaps the season. These players are not only on the roster of elite club squads, but they play pivotal points in crucial matches.

The day before Worlds began Derek Alexander cleated up for his first Furious George practice, with never even a try-out. Hailing from Ottawa and fresh out of high school, Derek was rostered up with Furious by captain Andrew Lugsdin, on the advice of Chris Sullivan, a former teammate of both Derek and Andrew. Along with Oscar and Adam Melnyk, Derek co-captained the Canadian Junior squad which put in a dominating display at Worlds in Riga, Latvia earlier in the year. To add to his busy summer, Derek (nicknamed Franchise) was an integral part of new Ottawa touring team, Phoenix, which was established to develop young talent. Already a five-year veteran of the sport, Derek has developed a signature step-out move – one of the tools used in his unstoppable break-mark throw.

Starting his third season with Furious George, Oscar Pottinger has been chucking plastic for 4 years. After three CUC Juniors final appearances – including two victories with Vancouver DFA where he was instrumental – Oscar played with UBC in the College Series, and was named Freshman of the Year for the North West Region. Along with Derek and Adam he led the Canadians in their gold medal and spirit award winning performance at the World Juniors. Currently he's taking a year off of school and spending time snowboarding in Whistler, BC. Reportedly his adventurousness also led him – along with another Canuck junior – to strip down and take a midday plunge off a downtown Riga bridge while at Worlds.

Josh Ziperstien, known as Zip, was playing for DoG in only his second year of ultimate. According to his DoG teammates, he is a phenomenal athlete who has developed tremendous skills in such a short time. Zip was a soccer player at Amherst Regional High, home of legendary ultimate coach Tiina Booth, before he took up ultimate in his senior year. Now attending Brown as a sophomore, Josh was a large part of Brown's second-place Regional finish to Tufts last year, and was also named Freshman of the Year for the North East Region. As Tony Leonardo put it, “Zip has quickly emerged as a game-winning X factor for Brown.”
