About Us!

Creation
We're a very new team. We began after a month or so of playing Ultimate at gym, and then when Michael Hoffy went to look up some stuff about it on the internet, he stumbled on the NJHSU page, and realized that there were local Ultimate teams that were interested in playing on a regular basis. From this, he took off on a campaign to start an Ultimate team at the high school. Unfortunately, there were and still are many problems with the school accepting a team. A board recognized team meant that you could only play other board recognized teams, so Michael decided it was much better to have the team as an informal group, which it is to date. Eventually Mike Hamm, volunteered to co-captain the team, and was gladly accepted as another person to help out. Three practices were organized for the unofficial team, all more or less working, and then, a month after the last one, we played East Brunswick. Coming out of it exhausted and beaten, we were determined to improve.
Over the summer we held daily pickup games organized by Dan Jobbins at the high school -- this being the basic practice for most of the summer, and after that the team flourished into what it is now.

Our Name

Our name is another story. For Spirit Hall 1999, The Senior class wanted to advertise the presence of the ultimate team, however, at that point the team was unnamed. So, a bunch of the seniors on the team sat around for half an hour debating names for a team. After discarding everything they came up with, they settled on "The Enforcers." This came from Ross, who had earned the nickname at CTY three years earlier (I think) when he went to receive a disc, and broke another guy's nose. Oh, well, you know Ross.
