On Tuesday February 17, the OWBL held their annual general meeting. We’d like to welcome the newly inducted 2015 OWBL executive. Familiar faces were joined by a couple of new ones this year. Your 2015 executive consists of:
President: Kylie O’Donnell
Women’s Convener: Shawna-Marie Harper
Vice President: Alan Waffle
Treasurer: Tracey Lawson
Past President: Healy Thompson
Secretary: Andrea Tristao
Currently, the following teams have committed to returning for the 2015 OWBL season: Annette (Coached by Gary O’Donnell, Paul McElcheran, Shirley O’Donnell), and the Royal York Cardinals (Coached by Greg Harper). We are looking to add a new team this year as well that is welcoming new players and coaches so if you are interested in either playing or coaching, this is great opportunity to get involved in women’s baseball. Please contact us for more information at info@ontariowomensbaseball.com
The OWBL will be hosting the 2015 Can-Am Challenge in Toronto, ON through July 4th to 6th. The 2015 tournament director has yet to be announced but we look forward to another great international tournament in Toronto! More news to follow on the Can-Am Challenge 2015 in the upcoming weeks.
The OWGL’s rep team, the Toronto Fusion, are looking forward to another good season coached once again by Greg Harper and Gary O’Donnell. The Fusion plans to participate in the 2015 Baltimore Diamond Classic in Baltimore, MD (May 22-25), the Can-Am Challenge 2015 in Toronto (July 4–6), and a third US tournament TBD. Open tryouts for the Toronto Fusion will be held in early spring. Be sure to check back for tryout details.
Overall it was a very successful evening and we are all looking forward to an exciting 2015 season. Good luck!
