Humber River Hot Sauce (3-1-0)
There are so many varieties of chili peppers: the iconic jalapeño with its zesty floral flavour, the biting and fruit scotch bonnet, the laid back but sneaky shishito, the danger sign trinidad scorpion. The Humber River Hot Sauce are bringing a symphony of spice to SkyDome this season and have come out of the gate HOT HOT HOT! A coaching squad of Qui, Paula and Darren and some key veterans like LJ, Manjeet, Sam, and Brianna – are gelling so well with league stalwarts Claire, Anto, Yosnai, Izzy – and newcomes Emma and Emily to have scorched their way up the scolville scale of league standings.
Credit River Debt Forgivers (3-1-0)
In David Graeber’s Debt the First 500 Years he writes, “As it turns out, we don’t all have to pay our debts. Only some of us do.” This season marks a jubilee in Dreamers history as the Credit River franchise the last of the five teams without a championship looks to forgive, erase, and re-imagine the team’s fortunes. A coaching team of Janice, Craig, Emma, and Johann is cooking the books for the Debt Forgivers, bringing with them a loan restructuring team filled with veterans like Andy, Devin, Annelies, Jenny, Stu, and Shannon; rookies like Ivan and Val; and rising stars Sam, Jonah, Finn, Yasmeen. The Debt Forgivers are also joined by their visionary teammate Claudia who will sit out the season on the field, but not in our hearts! The Debt Forgivers are paying forward early in the season with some impressive defence and a high quotient of trans-feminine power!
Garrison Creek Gabagool (2-2-0)
Maybe Tony Soprano could have told me that the term gabagool originated among Italian Americans as a play on the colloquial pronunciation of capicola, that deliciously spiced cured meat delight, but I have neither the courage nor the grace to make that request. Garrison Creek this season, however, is bringing a lot of moxie to the field thanks to the energy of coaches Robyn, Maddy, Soren, and Masha – and a sandwich of delicious players including Phill, Seb, Kirsten, Sara, and Lucky! Their buns are slightly toasted thanks to the scorching play of RT, Olivia, and Syd – and newcomers Franklynn, Erica, and Jen! Look for the Gabagools to be the bodega boys of the summer.
Don River Don Don Don (1-3-0)
Don’t be fooled by the haunting moniker “don don don” – this isn’t a horror story or a creepy thriller – it’s an entrance of the camp villain who is trying to save the world from billionaire vigilantes like Batman! The Don River squad boasts a super hero coaching staff of Karl, Oskar, Natasha, and Jasper – and they aren’t going to let Gotham thugs run this place. They are fierce brick throwers like Rhiannon, Jeffrey, and Scout – riotous cuties like Jaz, Peter, and Camie – swooning seditionists like Natasha, Kai – and bourgeoning dreamer champs like Emmi and Sudeep! Don Don Don is the sound you hear when this team gets ready to haunt the field like a spectre or whatever that little pamphlet once said….
Rouge River Big Rouge (1-3-0)
In the 1970s the Big Red Machine dominated baseball led by hall of famers and all-stars like Joe Morgan, Johnny Bench, and Pete Rose. In the 2010s the Big Red Machine dominated indie-folk by having Taylor Swift jump onto their tracks. But here in the 2020s we welcome the Big Rouge Machine – a force of good on the ball field this lovely team is steered by Victoria, Sabrina and Nell. They have red hots like Jenni, Lucy, and Terrance. Twizzlers like Matías, Marty, and Sarah. Hot lips like Travis, Krysta, and Purvi. And Sweedish Beeries like Kat and Asia! The Big Rouge is sweet, explosive, and fierce – they’re plotting a Big Rouge summer and you’re all invited to witness its majesty!
