|Blackfalds, Alberta (December 10, 2024)– After the home run week this past summer hosting the Women’s Canadian Fast Pitch Championship, Blackfalds has once again been chosen as the host for the summer of 2026 games, as announced by Softball Canada earlier this week!“Softball Canada is thrilled that the 2026 Women’s Canadian Fast Pitch Championship has been awarded to Blackfalds, Alberta,” said Gilles LeBlanc, Manager of Operations at Softball Canada. “Blackfalds hosted an extremely successful Women’s Canadian Championship in 2024, and we are excited to work with the local organizing committee once again to take the event to the next level.”This summer, competing teams, fans, and families from all across Canada came out to Blackfalds; Quebec, Saskatchewan, Ontario, Alberta, New Brunswick, and Manitoba. It is estimated that 800 - 1000 attendees came out to Sterling Industries Sports Park throughout the championship, according to Softball Canada.Reminiscing on the championship this past summer, Mayor Jamie Hoover shared his anticipation for 2026.“I am beyond excited that we are once again the host community for this championship! The 2024 tournament was fantastic, and the Red Deer Ladies Fastball Association who were the host team put on an event that exceeded my expectations. Right from the high-spirited opening ceremony to the nail-biting games, it was an event not to miss,” he shared. “I have heard so much feedback on how great the facility was, and how welcoming our community was, and I have to say that everyone who helped make this tournament happen, made me proud to be a part of it, and I have no doubt that Softball Canada made the right choice to bring it back for 2026. I look forward to once again welcoming these elite athletes from across Canada to Blackfalds, these players and coaches demonstrate the highest level of sportsmanship and passion for their sport!”The 2025 Women’s Canadian Fast Pitch Championship will be held in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
