On behalf of Softball Canada, I would like to extend our thanks to the organizers and supporters of the 2013 Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship.
This event is important to the game on so many levels. First to all the players, through all the divisions, it is a chance to measure yourself against the best at your level of competition in a fun, professionally organized tournament. Lifetime memories are made here. For the coaches, officials, volunteers and supporters, we sincerely appreciate your efforts on behalf of our sport. You are all making a difference.
This year, the tournament will play an integral role in the final preparation for our Senior National Team, which will be attending the World Championship qualifying tournament in Puerto Rico next month. The 2014 Worlds will be held in Holland. Our players are excited to compete against other top teams from around the world here at home in Softball City and we appreciate their support of the event. It is a very important tournament on the World calendar.
We also value the learning opportunities this tournament provides for the many young players, who may one day compete on one of our National teams. These club teams play a significant role in the development of our sport and we are glad to see such strong levels of participation from teams from across Canada and around the World.
In late October, we will be putting forward a bid for this organizing group to host the 2016 ISF Women’s World Championships. With such a strong, committed group of volunteers, support from all levels of government and a vibrant softball community we have a very strong bid and look forward to presenting it to the delegates of the International Softball Federation.
Once again, thank you for your support of the 2013 Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch Championship. Enjoy the games!
Kevin Quinn, President, Softball Canada

Team Canada Players to Watch

She also finished with an impressive fielding percentage of .995 and was named GNAC player of the year.
The recent SFU Clan graduate is a former member of the Surrey Storm and a graduate of Burnaby Mountain Secondary.
The first baseman competed with Team Canada at the 2012 World Cup, 2012 ISF Women’s World Championships and the 2012 Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship.
Kelsey Haberl (Burnaby, B.C.)
At Syracuse University, Caira became the all-time program leader in nearly every category: wins (97), appearances (167), games started (141), complete games (82), shutouts (28), innings pitched (887.0), strikeouts (1,043), strikeouts per seven innings (8.23), most saves (7), lowest ERA (1.87) and lowest opponent batting average (.190).
The team captain in her 2012 senior year became the only player in Big East history with 1,000 career strikeouts and was twice-named National Pitcher of the Week.
Jenna Caira (Toronto, Ont.)

Team Canada Players to WatchJoey Lye (Toronto, Ont.)
Lye is currently in her second year as head softball coach at Stevenson University, where she led the Mustangs to the semifinals of the CAC Softball Championship.
A 2009 graduate of Williams with a BA in psychology, Lye was a four-year letter winner in both softball and women's ice hockey where she was named to the NESCAC’s All-Sportsmanship Team in both sports.
In softball, Lye was a four-time All-NESCAC and NFCA New England Region First Team selection as shortstop. She set five all-time school records in batting average (.457), runs scored (150), hits (211), total bases (267) and stolen bases (62). She also ranks third in games played with 148. As a senior, Lye led the nation with a .563 batting average, setting a new Williams single-season record.
Gilbert was recently named to the NFCA Division 1 All-America Third Team, becoming the first player in Ball State University’s program history to earn All-America honours.
At the end of her junior year in 2013, the outfielder was No.1 in batting average, runs, RBIs, hits and on-base percentage.
This year, she is back playing for the senior Canadian Women’s National Team for the second year.
She was formerly a member of the Canadian Junior Women’s National Team and the Canadian Women’s U16 National Team.
