Peters Makes MLB Debut

Tristan Peters – an All-Star outfielder in the Western Canadian Baseball League with the Okotoks Dawgs – has made his Major League Baseball debut with the Tampa Bay Rays.

Like Father, Like Son

Sometimes when Ray Chadwick watches his son pitch he sees himself out there on the mound.

His son, Dawgs Academy alum Tyrelle, is also taking his game to the pros after being drafted by the Colorado Rockies.

7th Inning Stretch: Brandon Paez

Dawgs Academy alum Brandon Paez did an outstanding job of filling some gaps left by graduating players following the 2024 WCBL season.

The Okotoks Dawgs infielder is hoping he did enough to help the team move towards a fourth-straight championship.

Off to the Races

You weren’t going to wipe the smile off Brody Forno’s face after the Western Canadian Baseball League’s All-Star Game.

It also wasn’t going to wipe clean his jersey after a head-first slide into home to score the West Division’s final run in a 10-3 loss to the East Division at a rain-drenched Seaman Stadium in Okotoks.

2025 MLB Draft Review

After 20 rounds of picks and more than 600 player selections, the Major League Baseball Draft has come to a close.

The prospect-plucking exercise took place in Cumberland, Georgia, with the first three rounds taking place on July 13th and the remaining 17 rounds happening on July 14th.

Among the picks were a number of players with ties to the Western Canadian Baseball League (WCBL).

Here’s a closer look at some of those draft choices …

Remembering a Baseball Visionary

Don Seaman, a key figure in helping ensure the Dawgs are safe at home in Okotoks, has passed away.

The baseball visionary and principal donor in the construction of Seaman Stadium and the Duvernay Fieldhouse – the headquarters of the Okotoks Dawgs of the Western Canadian Baseball League (WCBL) and the Dawgs Academy youth baseball program – passed away on July 9th, just a couple weeks short of his 100th birthday.

Turning Point

Following another early exit from the playoffs in 2018, the Okotoks Dawgs coaching staff met with founder John Ircandia.

They thought they were being fired.

Instead, they were given whatever they needed, and have been on an unprecedented championship run.

Dawg Day for Logan Brothers

It was a good old fashioned baseball night.

While Chase Logan was performing well for the Western Canadian Baseball League’s Okotoks Dawgs, his brother, Gavin, was being promoted to Triple-A in the Arizona Diamondbacks system.

Wild Rose Country

This really is Wild Rose country.

It says so on every license plate in the province.

And it has said so for years at Seaman Stadium, home of the Okotoks Dawgs, with the Rose family – the latest being long-time infielder Aidan.

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.
