The nine day tourney kicks off Friday in Valleyfield, Quebec.
The winning team, out of seven entrants, gets to go to the Little League World Series, August 14th-24th in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
The Lethbridge Southwest All-Stars represent Alberta after three wins and a run differential of 25 at the provincial tourney in Calgary, just weeks ago.
Manager Don Aos on when his team had an idea they could win the event: “once we got past the semi-final and made it to the final, we knew the team coming up the other side would have to expend a little more pitching than we did.”
Lethbridge takes on South Vancouver, the BC winners, Friday at 1:00 p.m.
Calgary West was the last Alberta team to represent Canada at the Little League World Series back in 2001; they finished with a 1-2 record in Pool D and failed to qualify for the knockout round.
The pacific province has sent Canada’s representative to Williamsport eight out of the last fourteen years.
