CCBC Week 1 Preview 

 

As we get closer to Opening Weekend, let’s take a look at the opening matchup’s heading into the 2024 season.

 

Out in Kelowna, the Okanagan College Coyotes take on the Vancouver Island Mariners at Elks Stadium. The Coyotes come into the season as number 1 in the coaches poll, and they will look to prove them right. They will look to take care of business in the 4 game set against the Mariners, who will look to prove doubters wrong this season. 

 

Our second matchup over in Victoria will feature the Victoria Collegiate Golden Tide taking on the Edmonton Collegiate Hawks. This will be a big test for both teams. Victoria will look to continue their success in the 2023 National Championship last season, where they were the runner up. The Hawks will look to have another solid regular season and look to go deeper into the championship tournament. 

 

Down in Chilliwack, ous Series of the Week will take place. A new and improved University of Fraser Valley Cascades take on the defending CCBC National Champs, the University of Calgary Dinos. The Cascades have had a solid pre-season so far and will look to improve from last season. The Dinos, coming off their first CCBC Championship, will look to show last year was not a one and done. 

 

Our final matchup of opening weekend will feature the Prairie Baseball Academy Dawgs meeting the Thompsons Rivers University Wolfpack. The dawgs finished 1st at the end of the regular season but had a disappointing National Championship run. The Wolfpack will try to turn some heads and prove they are a team to look out for this season.
