A winter
wonderland
Freezing temperatures and knee-deep snow couldn’t chill the fiery enthusiasm of the Boston University Quidditch team this winter. Brooms, wiffleball bats and even sticks were put to use during the game, but the goofy equipment was of no concern. With smiles on their faces and snow-matted clothing, as many as 40 players buzzed around an icy pitch, enjoying the team’s first practice of the new year. The wintery conditions were welcomed by the squad as players whipped the quaffle and bludgers through the air, enduring frosty fingers for a chance to prepare for the upcoming season. The Terriers have much to look forward to, with aspirations of winning both the New England and World Cup’s of 2011, and they will be hosting their own alumni-funded tournament in February. With any luck, spring will visit Boston a bit early this year. After all, no one likes a frozen snitch. — Kedzie Teller (Boston University Quidditch)
Last month hundreds of Monthly Seer fans filled out our online survey. Congratulations to Makenzie Davenport, Jacob Holewinski, and Elizabeth Pashley who were randomly drawn to receive a free T-shirt!
