The Road to Okotoks Begins as Teams Compete for National Spotlight

OTTAWA – The Road to Okotoks starts now.

Beginning May 28, twenty-nine teams from across the country will battle in the inaugural The Road to Okotoks and The Morneau Cup presented by Rawlings, all with the same goal - earn a place on the national stage.

Over four days (May 28–31), teams will compete in regional qualifiers in British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario. Only 14 teams will advance, punching their ticket to Okotoks, Alberta for a chance to compete for the Morneau Cup from July 14-19.

From coast to coast, some of the country’s top programs will play host to high-stakes competition. In British Columbia, the Langley Blaze and White Rock Tritons will welcome teams to two competitive qualifier sites. Across the Prairies, Vauxhall Academy, Prairie Baseball Academy, and the Lethbridge Bulls will host a deep and talented field. In Ontario, the Mississauga Tigers HPP, Ontario Nationals, and Terriers Baseball will play hosts while looking to punch their own tickets to Okotoks.


Ontario will see 10 teams competing for seven spots, while 13 teams in the Prairies will battle for three, and six teams in British Columbia will compete for four positions.

Awaiting the qualifiers is the final destination: Okotoks, Alberta (July 14–19). There, the 14 advancing teams will join host Okotoks Dawgs Black and a wild card entry to complete a 16-team field competing for the inaugural Morneau Cup.
