Stephen Butler (2012)
One thing that may get lost among all the huge victories and iconic moments is QUAFL 2016, held in the ACT. Every previous QUAFL had been held on university fields of differing quality, but this was the first time we had use of professional sports fields, which I think is a huge moment in Australian Quidditch. That was truly the first QUAFL that felt like a national level sporting competition.
