From the Prince George Citizen
By Ted Clarke
It’ll be men against boys some nights this season at Spruce City Stadium.
The Prince George midget Timberwolves are now part of the Spruce City Men’s Fastball Association (SCMFA), which gives the team of 15-, 16- and 17-year-olds a place to play. The Timberwolves are the traveling team of the Spruce City Minor Boys Softball Association and with no other midget teams in close proximity, the club jumped at the chance to play in the adult league.
“The Spruce City minor boys have an all-star team and I think a lot of it is just to keep them playing ball because if they keep playing with just two teams in their own (house) league, eventually they’re all going to quit, so we let them come and play in our league,” said SCMFA executive member Chad Ghostkeeper.
“Right now, especially in our league, there are a lot of older guys in their 30s, so we have to get these younger guys to keep the game going.”
The five-team league also includes the defending champs, Custom Edge Sports, Superior Fencing Reds (last year’s playoff finalists), Falcon Contracting juniors and the Binche Steelers.

Editor’s note: Also mentioned in the article:
Custom Edge will be on the lookout for some pitching help with the ace, hard-hitting slugger Adam Donnelly, awaiting surgery and likely out for the season.
As SportsCanada.tv viewers may know, Adam Donnelly was one of the producers of last summer’s live streaming video broadcasts of the 2014 ISF Jr. Men’s World Championships in Whitehorse, Yukon, and is expected to be behind the controls again this summer in Saskatoon for the 2015 WBSC Sr. Men’s World Championships.
