20112011

twenty-three years, all of them

Fraser Valley Chiefs as they embark on the 2011 season.

This year, Dennis has decided to pursue other interests. The Chiefs have also enjoyed the guidance of General Manager Paul Hargreaves for many years.

I am confident that with the return of the coaches and many players,the Chiefs will enjoy another successful season.

Best wishes and good luck to the team and their many supporters.

On behalf of Baseball Canada I am pleased to congratulate the Whalley Chiefs as they embark on the 2014 season.

The Chiefs have been in the Lower Mainland since 1965 and specifically in Whalley for all but 4 of the last 25 years. The Chiefs were under the coaching of brothers Dennis and Ted Springenatic for years. More recently John Parker and Paul Hargeaves have been guiding influence.

The Chiefs have long history for presenting competitive teams and developing outstanding talent. First round Major League Baseball draft picks Kevin Nicholson, Aaron Myette and Adam Loewen are all products of the Chiefs organization. Baseball Canada has been fortunate to have had seven players from the Chiefs organization on the Junior National Team since 2000.

I am confident that with the return of the coaches and many players, the Chiefs will enjoy another successful season.

Best wishes and good luck to the team and their many supporters.
