Hitching a Ride to Okotoks

We are just a couple of weeks away from The Road to Okotoks.

The inaugural Morneau Cup championship will see 16 teams duke it out over five days to settle some bets on the best academy program in the country.

We take a look at the results from the draft, the pools and schedule, and more leading up to the big event.

Terrific T-Bird

Cochrane’s Simon Baker is going to need a bigger trophy case after cleaning up the awards and recognitions with Cloud County Community College this spring.

The Webber Academy alum picked up the KJCCC West Player of the Year award, among others, all while battling an injured shoulder.

1 Thru 9: Aidan Robinson

Imagine catching the first game of a double-header then heading to the bump for the back half.

That’s what Aidan Robinson for Webber Academy in 2025 as he continues his ascent up the baseball world in Alberta.

Zach on the Attack

The baseball world is a small one.

Look no further than Lacombe’s Zach Macdonald, who is looking to turn heads at the Canadian Futures Showcase.

He’s also carving out his own baseball journey after his dad, Jeff, was a Colorado Rockies draft pick in 2001.

7th Inning Stretch: Simon Baker

Simon Baker and the Sylvan Lake Gulls walked into the 2025 Western Canadian Baseball League season with one thing on their mind: win a championship.

After a record-breaking 44-win season in 2024, the team was upended by the eventual champion Okotoks Dawgs in their third-straight West Division final.

Fledge from the Nest

Kai Rempel will always remember his first college win with Cloud County Community College.

The Webber Academy alum would love to have a few more firsts added to his collection before 2025 is up.

A Wager in Washington

The 2024 season felt like the tale of two campaigns for Calgary’s Michael Soroka.

He started the year as a starter with the Chicago White Sox before heading to the bullpen, where excelled in the second half.

The right-hander is hoping to keep that momentum going after signing with the Washington Nationals.

1 Thru 9: Cohen Miller

It’s been an unorthodox ride for Cohen Miller.

The Webber Academy Wildcats two-way star has seen baseball in Alberta, Dubai and all points in between.

He was a guest on ADS: The Podcast earlier this year, leading to our latest 1 Thru 9.

OPINION: Alberta’s Big MLB Draft Presence

The MLB Draft Class of 2024 was a big one for Alberta.

With five Albertans being named and a few others with connections to our province, it was the biggest contingent since 2011, despite being half the size.

Joe McFarland says this should be a sign of things to come.

Putting on a Clinic

Everyone had their reasons for smiling on a cold Saturday just outside Calgary.

The Blue Jays Academy National Coaches Clinic was moved to Webber Academy, where athletes and coaches were able to learn from some of the best.

Pat Borders, Devon White, Ernie Whitt, Ashley Stephenson, Buck Martinez and Chris Reitsma served as instructors for the weekend-long camp.
