Blake Merilees

Lead Program Coordinator

Blake has been a part of the North Vancouver ultimate community for over a decade, playing at the high school and club level, and then coaching through Sutherland, Bonfire, and Canyon Open. Although he thrives in the competitive environment, his favourite part of ultimate is creating a positive and memorable experience for every athlete that comes through the program.

I’ve been a part of North Shore Ultimate for three years, starting as a player for Canyon. Ultimate means a lot to me in so many ways, and I love to see the sport growing rapidly, attracting players from all sorts of places and all skills. As a player who commuted for practices from the Sunshine Coast and now a coach & coordinator, it's important for me that youth players always have the opportunity to put a disc in their hands.

I am a part of this program because I love Ultimate and want to see the sport grow in the right direction on the North Shore. Bringing the spirit of the game to the forefront of the North Shore program is awesome because it shows that teams can resolve conflicts and situations amongst each other. In addition, it brings another level of accountability to yourself and your team. 

Duncan Segers

I became a part of Canyon Ultimate because I want to help promote Ultimate frisbee among the youth on the North Shore. Growing up in North Vancouver, I always wanted there to be a program like Canyon which allowed me to play closer to home. I’ve played Ultimate for over a decade, and I look forward to helping the sport grow and having more kids fall in love with this great sport!

My favourite part about Ultimate is how anyone can have fun despite their skill level. The Spirit of the game is important to creating and being part of an inclusive community! As a coordinator, I would like to continue to foster these uplifting and competitive environments, on and off the field. Not only this, but contribute to cultivating respectful programs and players!
