New Executive Officers

Each year, the Executive Committee collaborates closely with the league to assemble the best leadership team to guide us toward success. Our Executive Officers are instrumental in nurturing the inclusive, healthy, and enjoyable environment that defines our softball league.

As part of the 2024 election, the positions of Events and Promotions Coordinator and Treasurer were open for election. Additionally, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to Bradley Turcotte and Dallas Tran for their outstanding contributions during their terms. Their dedication and positivity have been invaluable in shaping our league’s success.

Please join us in congratulating Bryan McSorley as the new Events and Promotions Coordinator and Taylor Griffin as the new Treasurer.

The elected candidates will serve a two-year term, covering the 2025 and 2026 seasons. These roles will be up for re-election ahead of the 2027 season. Our Commissioner will oversee a seamless transition between the outgoing officers and their successors.

Drag & Balls

We host this yearly charity softball event to support Bruce House. This great organization provides services and support to people living with HIV-AIDS in Ottawa.

Each Ottawa Pride, generally the last weekend in August, some of our finest volunteers grace the Riverain Park ball diamond in glamorous drag. Moreover, they strut and dazzle in support of the Bruce House charity. This event, complete with a full license, offers a vibrant experience with drag softball, a DJ playing the latest hits, and a variety of food and beverage options.
