Feels Like Home

It was a homecoming Max Benton didn’t think he would ever make.

The Lethbridge Bulls starting pitcher toed the rubber at Doug Lehman Field in Oyen for the Western Canadian Baseball League’s Rural Roots Classic, where he had done it many times before as a member of the Badlands Baseball Academy.

By The Horns

As his 2024 college season came to a close, Carlin Dick (Abbotsford, B.C.) contemplated his future in baseball.

A senior at Canisius University, the Golden Griffins finished the campaign 18-30 overall (11-13 conference record) and placed fifth in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. It was going to be his final year with the program, the only one he suited up for after high school, and the B.C. product was trying to soak it all in.

Celebrating the CCBC’s Best of 2025

It was a nailbiter right to the end.

While the University of Fraser Valley might have taken the 2025 Canadian College Baseball Conference regular season pennant, no team ever felt out of contention during the spring.

We take a look at the circuit’s year-end award winners.

Coyotes Crowned CCBC Champs

The Okanagan College Coyotes had some unfinished business to take care of.

After losing a heartbreaking 13-inning marathon loss to the University of Fraser Valley in the 2024 Canadian College Baseball Conference World Series final, the Yotes wanted nothing more than another shot.

Cole’s Notes

After a solid freshman season at Indian Hills Community College, Cole Huebner decided to up his game.

The Edmonton native and AHP Academy alum has been named the Iowa Community College Athletic Conference Co-Pitcher of the Year.

7th Inning Stretch: Nate Garth

Prairie Baseball Academy will be leaning on a mix of veterans and new faces to pick up their first CCBC World Series title since 2017.

One of those pieces will be first baseman Nate Garth (Calgary), who is having an outstanding freshman campaign.

Return of the Mak

Ayden Makarus thought he was done with baseball.

More than two years after quitting the game to get on with his post-baseball life, the Dawgs Academy alum has returned with a vengeance at Bellevue University.

Hart of a Family

Baseball can bring families together, whether it’s weekend baseball tournaments, driving to different events across the country or playing catch in the yard on a Sunday afternoon.

That’s the exact case for Max and Eric Hartman.

Tyson Shushkewich of Canadian Baseball Network has more on their journeys.

A Flame-Throwing Family

The family’s name is synonymous with baseball in Southern Alberta.

Shaye McTavish is doing his best to carry on the legacy that his dad, Les, and other family members have had on the game around Vauxhall and Lethbridge.

Nash Smash Fever

When Nash Crowell stepped into the batter’s box for his first at-bat of a weekend series against Bryan College, he had no idea history was about to unfold.

Even after he took an offering from Ben Zyburt over the fence and started his home run trot, the gravity of breaking a record didn’t cross the Dawgs Academy alum’s mind.
