All Stars

Congratulations to Hastings Minor All Stars for winning the Provincial 9/10 Championship for the second straight year.

Hastings won the final game against host North Langley 18 - 2. It was an unfortunate loss for the home team that pulled out all the stops in upsetting heavily favoured White Rock in the semi final, only to have nothing left for the final. They had a great tournament.

But Hastings deserved full marks for the win, going 7 and 1 and scoring 96 runs while allowing only 9 during the entire tournament. Pitching and defense were top notch as this special group of 9 and 10 year olds showed that Hastings has what it takes. Great job, everyone.

The 2010 Opening Ceremonies

took place on April 10th under sunny skies at Hastings major diamond and the always colourful event featured a salute to the outstanding achievements of the 2009 All-Star teams which, in the words of HCLL President Dave Jenkins, won every Canadian championship they could have last year. Most of the members of the dominant rookie and minor teams are still with the league while almost all of the graduated majors from last year's Little League World Series team returned to be part of the event. They'll no doubt continue to be an inspiration to all the kids who hope to make that trip to Williamsport to represent Hastings and Canada again.

Representatives from government, community groups and Hastings sponsors, including Vancouver Canadians' Bob Brown Bear, were on hand to help open the season and once all the enthusiastic teams were introduced two lucky players won bikes courtesy of Sussex Insurance. The ceremonial first pitch was thrown (a little low and outside) and the season was underway.

Good luck to all the players and teams the rest of the way!
