Vancouver Canadians

Description

The Vancouver Canadians are the Single “A” Affiliate of the Oakland Athletics. We play in the Northwest League with seven other teams during the summer months each year. The team has a schedule of 76 games (38 home 38 away) and the season starts at the end of June each year. The team plays those 76 games in 79 days each year in a manner that can only be described as “traditional”. They make their way from stadium to stadium each game via bus, each player trying to hone their skills with the hopes of one day making it to the major leagues.The organization is heavily involved in many community activities, including opening up the stadium to the UBC Thunderbirds to play their season schedule, as well as making hundreds of charitable contributions throughout the year to many worthwhile organizations.Attendance for the Canadians has grown steadily for the five years that the team has been in Vancouver. In 2000, attendance was just over 109,000 and in 2004 it had grown to over 140,000 for the season. This is an increase of over 25% in just five years. The Canadians are the only successful minor league baseball team in Canada. In the past five years, four baseball clubs have left Canada in favour of the US and the Canadians are the strongest of the three remaining cities (Vancouver, Toronto and Ottawa).
