🎨 ANNOUNCING THE 90:/5 JUNE 2025 SEASON PATCH
This season’s patch pays tribute to one of the League’s most passionate and dedicated Captains — and to the soulful disc dog who’s been by her side for nearly every step of the journey.
🐾 QUINN of HARTFORD, CT
Featured on this patch is Quinn, the beautiful Australian Shepherd who’s played in 30 seasons of K9 Frisbee Toss & Fetch and just turned 10 years old this past December. Her handler, Christina Trunzo, has been the driving force behind the Hartford, Connecticut Club since founding it for the Winter 2017 Season. Since then, Christina has rallied 15 to 20 local Teams almost every time they play — building community, spreading the joy of the game, and bringing countless people and pups into the sport.
💍 When she’s not throwing discs, Christina is the creative force behind Cosmic Dust Studio, where she handcrafts beautiful, small-batch jewelry as a silversmith — what she calls “Slow Crafted. Small Batch. Metalsmithing Jewelry.”
And when she’s not at the bench or on the field, she’s bikejoring across Connecticut trails with her pack of disc-loving Aussies.
🐶 THE WORLD’S BEST DOG MOM
If you ask anyone who knows Christina, they’ll tell you she’s the world’s best dog mom. Her devotion, patience, and joy for the game has touched every Team that’s played beside her.
Earlier this year, Christina said goodbye to her OG disc dog, Jack, who had recently made one last star appearance as a featured flyer on the Summer Down Under Leaderboard. We like to think Jack’s still catching big air somewhere above.
And now, a new chapter begins with Fender, her young Aussie-in-training — just 1.5 years old and already showing flashes of brilliance. Or as Christina affectionately calls him: “my little how-now-brown-cow, Fender Bender, Moo Moo, Mini Punk.”
🎖️ This patch isn’t just a design. It’s a thank you.
To Christina.
To Quinn.
To every Team she’s encouraged.
To every throw she’s cheered on.
To every dog she’s loved.
Christina, from all of us in the League — thank you for growing this sport, building your community, and sharing the path with Quinn. Here’s to a summer of flying discs, fast paws, and more beautiful moments in the game we all love.
❤️ With gratitude,
Your K9 Frisbee Worldwide League Family
