Mavericks opt-out of 2021 season

MEDICINE HAT, AB – The Medicine Hat Mavericks are opting out of the 2021 Western Canadian Baseball League season, the team announced this morning.

“Knowing this will be the second summer without Mavericks Baseball in Medicine Hat, it has been an extremely difficult decision,” says Mavericks owner and general manager Greg Morrison in a release. “The rise in COVID-19 cases and increased health restrictions make it very challenging to foresee a summer with fan and sponsor involvement. This will be tough on our fans, staff, and players, but is the best choice to protect the long-term viability of the Mavericks organization.”

The boys of summer won’t be swinging the sticks in the league, but they will still be on the field.
