- ◄ Bombing Madd Fatties's logo.
We are a team of players who have been around the Toronto Ultimate scene anywhere from the last 1- 10 years. We have played for many different touring teams in the open, women and coed divisions. In 2004, Bombing Madd Fatties were born from a group of competitive (and league) players who wanted to play ultimate at a competitive and challenging level, but who also really enjoyed being in an inclusive and positive learning environment.

With our strong leadership in place, we began the 2004 season in almost complete obscurity, as the unfavoured underdog. Over the course of the spring and summer last year, we began to establish ourselves as a very competitive team, who could also play in a very spirited fashion. Our team defines inclusivity and diversity as we have a roster of approximately 20 players who come from very different backgrounds ethnically and socio-economically. We've completely bonded over ultimate and have formed a cohesive unit free of cliques. Team play is strongly encouraged, and we have a very solid reputation for distributing the disc among all players, and frequently use a 3:4 (men: women) ratio.

- ◄ Bombing Madd Fatties run fast, run hard.
The last 2 years have seen BMF go from being a complete unknown to one of the strongest contender in the Coed division of the Canadian National Ultimate Championships, where we’ve placed a 2nd place in 2004 and a 4th place in 2005. We also made a name for ourselves in the US scene after posting a strong showing at the UPA Fall Series Regionals, where the only games we lost were very close games to the #1 and #2 seeds in our region.

2006 brings an exciting prospect to the season as The Fatties have managed to qualify to be one of the teams to represent Canada at the World Ultimate Club Championship series this year in Perth, Australia. While we want to do well at Perth we’re still focused on bringing home a National Championship and we hope to do so this year in Halifax.
