2014 Canadian and Western Canadian Championship Assignments!!!

It is with great pleasure that I announce the names of the umpires selected to represent B. C. at the 2014 Canadian and WCSA Championships. After carefully reviewing all the submitted applications, the PODC have selected a group of umpires they feel will best represent B. C. at each championship. This group of officials has worked hard to be the best that they can be. There will be further opportunities for B. C. umpires to work at Canadian and WCSA Championships this year as we are hosting the U14 Girls Canadian Jamboree at Softball City and the U16 Girls and Boys WCSA Championship in Duncan. A further opportunity for our young umpires to work at a high level tournament will be in Nanaimo at this year’s Summer Games. More names will be added to the list as we approach the time for the tournaments.Please join me in congratulating the following umpires:
