Team Quebec will be familiar to many local fastball players and fans - they have participated in several local tournaments including the ISC II Qualifier in Ottawa. Matt Greer from the Quyon Flyers is on the team's roster and will be pitching and plahying "le shortstop".

Napanee Express are one of four teams from Ontario - they will feature Mickburg's own Joran Graham, who also plays for the Quyon Flyers.

Fingal Juniors from southwestern Ontario also have some local flavour. Joel Langford and Chad Hargrove from the Orleans Gators are on the Fingal roster. Both Joel and Chad will also be joining Quyon Flyers at this year's Tournament of Champions in mid-August.
