Elliott: The best will compete on the Road to Okotoks and in the Morneau Cup
“The high school scene saw a seismic shift when the Toronto Blue Jays created Tournament 12 in 2014.
Later, it was renamed the Canadian Futures Showcase and it rolled into action earlier this month as the Blue Jays again showed they are solid corporate citizens.
Whether the player is from Comox, B.C., North York, Ont., or Dartmouth, N.S., the registration is the same for all players attending the event.
And now comes Baseball Canada’s Road to Okotoks, a true team national championship for 2026 for 19U players. It will be king of the hill, the best of all the events.”
