About Storm:

Storm is Newfoundland and Labrador’s junior provincial ultimate team. Athletes are eligible for the team if they are at least 14 years old and no older than 18 by Dec. 31, 2024.

In 2024, Storm’s open and women’s teams aim to compete at the Junior Canadian Ultimate Championships (CUC) in Ottawa, Ontario from August 11-14, 2024.

Storm Junior Provincial Team Fund

The Storm Junior Provincial team program provides youth athletes the opportunity to represent Newfoundland and Labrador at the Canadian Ultimate Championships in the junior division. To assist with removing cost barriers and ensuring that all athletes have the opportunity to train, compete, and be part of this team, donations are accepted through the Storm Junior Provincial Team Fund. Your donation to the Storm provincial team program goes directly towards helping athletes in financial need.

Donations can be made directly via etransfer with the note ‘Storm Donation’ and we will be able to offer a tax receipt.
