The reigning champions, Ciel Fm of Rivière-du-Loup, will host Trois-Pistoles for this first match. There will be seven teams this summer, with the return of Edmundston after two years of absence but the withdrawal of La Pocatière.
“We are losing a team, we were eight in the league and we are back to seven with the loss of La Pocatière. The good news there, because the bad news is that we lose them because they take a year off. Having talked to a lot of people there and the players in Kamouraska, it’s really a sabbatical year, they’re going to be there next year so we’re going back to eight teams. “, explained the president of the League, Denis Bérubé.
Each of the league’s teams will also present a minor baseball themed day during the season. The senior team will receive a young formation from the place to make them live a dream day.
“Each team organizes a day of minor baseball, it is important for the sponsor but also for the league and baseball in general. It’s super fun, each team organizes it in its own way. It’s often a mini training camp, in the form of workshops, it’s the fun and it attracts people and young people come to the field and it allows to create a succession and a feeling of belonging with the young players. “, told the president, about this superb initiative.
