Fink Around and Find Out

Gabe Fink flew to Vancouver for the Blue Jays Academy Canadian Futures Showcase with one thing on his mind: retribution.

A year earlier, the highly touted Edmonton native struggled with his command in his one outing at the showcase.

Undeterred and buoyed by being among the first 50 players invited to this year’s event, he wanted to make amends and did so in a big way.

Flying For A Friend

“Remember why.”

You will find those two words scrawled into the inside of Carson Friesen’s hat as he takes to the field for the Edmonton Collegiate Hawks.
