Kitchener, On

The selection committee that was assembled to choose a host team for the ISC II T of C next year in Kitchener, has made their recommendation to the Host Committee, which last night was approved unanimously.

I am pleased to announce and congratulate the Bridgeport Proforma Braves for their selection.

Bridgeport is a veteran Club, that plays in the South Perth Men’s Fastball League and were crowned Champions of the league a few weeks back in Mitchell On.

Some of their most recent accomplishments have been placing 11th in the 2005 T of C in Chippewa Falls Wisconsin, 2nd in the Innerkip Tournament, 3rd in the Innerkip ISC II qualifier tournament and 2nd in the K-W Pride Tournament in St. Clements On. They have also finished 2nd or 3rd the last two years in the South Perth Playoff Tournament.

The Braves history goes back to the early 1940’s when they were originally known as the Bridgeport Vets, of which the grandfather of the current Schnarr Brothers was the original Coach. Bridgeport has continued on with the family atmosphere on the team, lead by the 3 Schnarr Brothers, (Jim, Jodie and Jay) and 2 Dickson Brothers, (Andy and Jodie) all hailing from the Bridgeport area of Kitchener.

The current team boasts 11 players from the City of Kitchener, 1 from Woodstock and 2 from Guelph, which makes them a very local Host Team for next years T of C.

Along with the Braves as the host team, we also have the Elmira Cubs who play right outside the city limits of Kitchener-Waterloo as the Defending Champions of the ISC II 2005 T of C. So this should boad well, for the local community fan and supporter base.

The Host Committee is already working hard in getting things organized for 2006, and we look forward to being your host next August.
