Thorhild Minor Ball, a local youth baseball and softball league, is all set to kick off
their second year and an exhilarating new season. The league, which is back in action
after a hiatus of over two decades, is buzzing with excitement and anticipation. To mark
this momentous occasion, Kerrie Stanko, President of Thorhild Minor Ball, made a
thrilling announcement: they will be retiring their old, historic jerseys and unveiling a
brand-new look. While the old jerseys hold a special place in the heart of Thorhild Minor
Ball, the prospect of a fresh start and a new beginning is simply irresistible. The
excitement is palpable, and everyone is eagerly looking forward to the new season.
Thorhild Minor Ball deeply appreciates the invaluable support from their
sponsors DDC Sand & Gravel, Richardson Pioneer of Waskatenau, and Lube City from
Morinville. Their generous contributions have not only made the league’s operations
possible but have also created a safe and enjoyable environment for our young athletes
to hone their skills and forge lifelong friendships.
Thorhild Minor Ball is expected to have high numbers this year and will offer
various programs, including t-ball, 7U mixed, 9U mixed, and U11 & U15 softball for the
season. Fans are welcome to come and cheer on the players, who give their all on the
field, and join in the excitement and energy as games unfold and the season
progresses.
Anyone wishing to support Thorhild Minor Ball further can head to Thorhild Co-op
on May 17th for their fundraiser BBQ. The proceeds will go towards supporting the
league and providing the young athletes with the equipment and resources they need to
succeed. The burgers and hotdogs will be delicious, and it is an excellent opportunity to
show your support for a great cause.
The players could not be more excited that they are a new generation and a new beginning for Thorhild Minor Ball.
