Bulls Baseball back for 2021 summer

Mar 25, 2021 | 10:28 AM

LETHBRIDGE, AB– The upcoming 2021 Western Canadian Baseball League season will be all-Canadian. For the first time in WCBL history, all players in the league will be from Canada.

“The long-standing league, with a history dating back over 80 years, is excited to put this unique product on the field this summer for Canadian players,” League President Kevin Kvame commented on this major development.

The league also announced that all non-Canadian players that had been recruited have been informed that it is unlikely that we will be able to resolve border issues in time for the 2021 season and have allowed those players to seek playing opportunities elsewhere.

However, while the season is a go, not all of its 11 teams will be participating.

“The Okotoks Dawgs (two teams), Lethbridge Bulls, Sylvan Lake Gulls, and Edmonton Prospects have
committed teams consisting of Canadian talent.”

The Fort McMurray Giants and Medicine Hat Mavericks
continue to discuss the options available to them and will decide in the coming weeks.

Due to the COVID-19 restrictions, border issues, and the uncertainty of any changes, the Swift Current 57’s, Regina Red Sox, Weyburn Beavers, Moose Jaw Miller Express, and Brooks Bombers have regrettably made the difficult and heartbreaking decision to wait until 2022 to return to the field.

“Just like 2020, the WCBL is aware of the logistical differences between communities in the league and
those logistics may result in some franchises having to make the difficult decision to accept an
emergency leave of absence,” Kvame said.

“However, we also feel it is important to provide a platform for our strong Canadian talent that needs to continue to develop this summer and, as such, we have assembled key franchises who can pull off this endeavour,” Kvame added.

The WCBL expects to release an updated schedule, including details on the 2021 season, ticket plans based on health authorities and additional information near the end of April.
