WMBL to change name to Western Canadian Baseball League in 2019
EDMONTON, AB – Next season, the Medicine Hat Mavericks will be playing for a Western Canadian Baseball League championship following the newly announced re-branding of the WMBL.
At their Board of Governors meeting last month, the Western Major Baseball League voted to change the name of their league at the start of the 2019 WCBL season.
A new logo is expected to be released by the league, featuring a maple leaf with a baseball alongside the Western Canadian Baseball League writing.
In a statement, president Kevin Kvame said this change will hopefully attract a more Canadian flavour for players moving forward.
