The North Shore Bonfire junior boys ultimate team won bronze at the Canadian Ultimate Championships held Aug. 11-13 in Waterloo, Ont.
The Bonfire cruised into the quarterfinals where they scored a thrilling 12-11 win over Ontario's Ignite but then had their title hopes snatched away by Toronto's TORO in the semifinals.
The Bonfire, seeded No. 1 in the tournament, reignited in the bronze medal match with an easy 13-7 win over Vancouver's Tribe.
The medal topped off an impressive season for the team, most of whom helped Sutherland secondary win the B.C. high school ultimate championship this spring. The Bonfire went on to win the provincial club team title to earn a berth in the national championships.
Earlier this summer the Bonfire's Cole Keffer suited up for the Canadian national junior team that won gold at the World Junior Ultimate Championships held in Lecco, Italy.
