Honoring River: Winter 2024 K9 Frisbee Worldwide League Season Patch

The K9 Frisbee Worldwide League proudly announces the Winter 2024 Season Patch, honoring the remarkable spirit and memory of River, the beloved companion of Jana Crawford, Captain of the Salt Lake City Disc Dogs. Beginning Saturday, November 16, this five-week Winter season patch captures the essence of River, an unforgettable mixed-breed pup whose joy and energy inspired everyone around him.

“DO MORE WITH YOUR DOG!”

The Salt Lake City Disc Dogs’ slogan, “DO MORE WITH YOUR DOG!” shines brightly on this season’s patch, a message River embodied throughout his 12 seasons with the K9 Frisbee League.

Joining the League in the Fall of 2018, the Salt Lake City Club started strong, finishing 37th out of 75 clubs in their debut season. As Jana’s “bouncy goofball,” River’s zest for Frisbee was infectious. His talents went beyond disc sports: he excelled in Flyball, agility, and trick dog, leaving a legacy of enthusiasm and spirit.

A Lasting Tribute

Born on October 5, 2008, River played his last season in June 2023 at nearly 15 years old. Earlier this year, at the age of 16, River passed away, leaving an indelible mark on Jana, her family, and the entire Salt Lake City Disc Dog community. In a heartfelt Facebook post, Jana reflected on the profound impact of his passing:

“Yesterday our hearts shattered as we said goodbye to my crazy, lovable, goofiest boy, River! … I’m sure he made a loud, grand entrance [in the afterlife]. All his flyball friends were there, and I hope they put together a tailblazers party race. Run free, my boy! I love you more than I can ever express!”

Jana shared how River loved extra car rides, Frisbee sessions, and rotisserie chicken. His memory will live on through her love and the many joyful moments they shared.

The Spirit of Salt Lake City Disc Dogs

Founded by Jana in 2018, the Salt Lake City Disc Dogs grew from a roster of 16 enthusiastic players to a thriving club that embraces the League’s motto of playing hard and building community. As a Special Education teacher and an advocate for all-inclusive activities, Jana continues to inspire others to “do more” with their dogs, just as she did with River.

With River’s image and his spirit on every Winter 2024 Season patch, Jana and the League invite players everywhere to honor River’s memory, celebrate their love for the sport, and, most importantly, cherish the joy our dogs bring to every game.

So as the Winter 2024 season kicks off, let’s all remember to play hard, embrace every moment, and do more with our dogs—just like River.
