Expansion
[edit]Cranbrook, British Columbia, was granted an expansion team, the Eds, in 2011 conditional on building a new stadium.[1][2] However, the plans failed to come to fruition.
In May 2020, the Edmonton Prospects confirmed that the team would be leaving Edmonton for Spruce Grove by 2022,[3] but due to construction delays at Myshak Metro Ballpark, those plans have been pushed back.[4][5]
The two most recent additions to the league are in Sylvan Lake and Saskatoon. Plans for a 2021 launch of the Sylvan Lake team were announced November 1, 2019.[6] Branding as the Sylvan Lake Gulls was announced in March 2020.[7] Saskatoon was awarded the most recent expansion team, in 2023.[8] In July 2023, the team unveiled that it would be called the Saskatoon Berries.[9]
Harry Hallis Memorial Trophy
[edit]Saskatchewan Territorial (1895–1905) and Provincial (1906–present) champions have been decided by an annual tournament.[10] In 1967 the first major division was added to the tournament,[11] and the award was named in memory of Harry Hallis. From 1967 until 1974 the name of this provincial champion was added to the trophy. In 1975, when the Saskatchewan Major Baseball League was formed, this trophy continued to be awarded to the SMBL champions, and now the WCBL champions.
