Carp to host 2024 U20 Men's Canadian Championship

Carp will be the host of the Softball Canada 2024 U20 Men's Fastpitch Canadian Championship.

After a successful event for the U23 Men's Canadians in 2022, the Carp Fastball Committee decided to apply to host another national championship and were successful with their bid.

This will be the third year in a row for the U20 Men's nationals to be hosted in Ontario, as Napanee hosted in 2022 and 2023, winning gold at home last year.

The dates for the 2024 event will be August 20 - 25 at the Carp Fairgrounds.

Conner Hopper recognized as Ottawa Sports Award winner

Conner Hopper of the Greater Ottawa Fastball League's West Carleton Electric and WC Electric U20 has been recognized as a recipient of the Ottawa Sports Award for softball in 2023.

Here is the write up from the Ottawa Sports Awards page:

Softball – Conner Hopper: In 2023 Hopper was selected to his first national softball team and represented Canada at the U18 Men’s Softball World Cup. The West Carleton catcher and centre-fielder has power and speed at bat and he recorded two hits and two RBIS before injuring his shoulder on Canada’s way to a bronze medal finish. His ability to excel on both domestic and international stages highlights not only his individual talent but also his commitment to elevating the performance of his teams.

Conner accepts his award from West Carleton-March Councillor Clarke Kelly
