Don River Dirty Doncers (4-2-0)

Nobody puts baby in a corner! The Dirty Doncers have leapt into the arms of the season with rhythm and palpable tension. Driven by their anchor Phill Morgan, the team has shimmied and shaked their way to a 4 win start – relying on a mix of veterans like Annelies, Devin, Krysta, Victoria, Terrance, Finn, Jenni, and Oskar – emerging stars in Natasha, Nell, Val, Mira, and Erica – and a handful of promising rookies in Cass and Robin. Sporting black for only the second time in team history, could this be a second curse breaker season or will Don have to wait until the bar lights go on and bleary-eyed lovers start pouring out of the club doors…for their second championship

Garrison Creek Green Bean (4-2-0)

The mighty edamames are going toe-to-toe with the Dirty Doncers to start the season, also claiming 4 wins in their first six games. With Robyn anchoring the team and Syd, Colin, and Sabrina crafting team strategy, the green beans are GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH this season. Rich in the iron thanks to power from Soren, Andy, David, and Manjeet – filled with fast acting nutrients thanks to the speed and base running acumen of RT, Masha, and Liz – and bolstered by all the vitamins that Liz, Emma, and Lucy have to offer, Garrison will get an extra boost once Claire make her 2026 debut! Is this the year that the Green Beans climb to the top of the stalk?

Rouge River Rock Skippers (3-2-0)

As is their motto, the Rock Skippers have been “Livin’ la vida Roca” this season. Anchored by Cece, the team has been seismic in both offence and defence. Hitting hard like diamonds Kirsten, Johann, Em, Anto, and Yosnai have been tectonic in their trips to the plate. Mesmerizing like opalite Tee, Rebecca, Jenny, Jackie, and Mel have gleamed on the bases and in the field. Steady like anthracite, Kira, Sam, Jasper, and Emma have added leadership and direction to the team. Could this be the season that unlocks a fourth skip in the Rouge River championship lake?

Credit River Chaos (2-2-1)

If you know Field of Dreamers lore, you might recall that from 2013-2016 before the big bang that is Field of Dreamers, there existed a team called the Uncertainty. This team took as their logo the “Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle (see below) as its logo. Partly as a means of signalling the unpredictability of the team and partly as a nod to our queer/trans character. While the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle and Chaos Theory both deal with limits on predictability, they belong to completely different branches of physics and operate on different scales – and that scale is currently being measured by Anchor Darren on a squad bursting with talent. Featuring the meteoric hitting of Seb, Camie, Shannon, LJ, and Sudeep; the semisonic speed of Rhiannon, Olivia, Kai, and Purvi; the cosmic glow of Travis, Rae, Marty, Matías, and Claudia the Chaos is going to try to shake up the league and perhaps become back-to-back champions for the first time since the pandemic cancelled season!

Humber River Hot Dogs (0-5-1)

The hot dog is a perennially underrated ball park treat. Relegated to loonie dog nights and sitting in a bath of steamy water, the once beloved baseball delight has in recent years not had the respect it deserves. Anchor Karl however, has assembled the most stunning ingredients to return the hot dog to its rightful place atop the baseball food chain! Don’t be fooled by the 0-5-1 record, the Hot Dogs have lost all of their games by either 1 or 2 runs and have one of the most PACKED toppings caddy in league history. Like a little spicy hot sauce and you turn to Sara’s stunning defence. Delight in a sweet pickle and Joseph will definitely run into one. Fancy a dash of mustard then look no further than the running of Brianna! In the mood for something rich, well Christina, Maddy and Paula are offering depth to the lineup. Looking for that healthy probiotic sauerkraut well Sarah, Lauren, Emmi, and Kat are bringing that team spirit on the daily. Oh you’re into sharp onions, have you seen Zoë’s tenacity on the bases or Scout’s steady hits? Still like a little ketchup to mix in? Stu is always there squirting line drives from both sides of the plate! Is this the year that Humber is top dog?

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!
