Saskatchewan’s Ethier pitching for host Fawcetts

[Charlottetown, PEI] – There’s one obvious thing that stands out when looking at the schedule for the 2010 Canadian senior men’s fast pitch championship underway in Charlottetown.
That being a lack of teams entered in the tournament from west of Ontario.

But that doesn’t mean provinces like British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba are not being represented.

“We certainly have (western Canadian talent) dispersed among eastern teams for sure.”
The lack of teams west of Ontario is mainly due to the costs involved in sending teams to the Island.
