Some big hitters in the baseball world have teamed up with Uniglobe Carefree Travel and The Wilson’s Group of Companies for a trip to see the Toronto Blue Jays face the Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile Park in Seattle this summer.

The two island West Coast League teams, the Victoria HarbourCats and Nanaimo NightOwls, are helping with the promotion and arrangements — and there will be a way to win a trip for two with a contest to come out through the teams’ social media platforms.

“This is always a trip people ask for, and we are thankful to Wilson’s and Uniglobe for putting this in place — we get a lot of calls,” said Jim Swanson, Managing Partner of the WCL NightOwls and HarbourCats. “There are options for people starting from either Victoria or Nanaimo, and the seats are outstanding.

The trip includes bus transportation for two games, July 22 and 23, and the tickets are on the 100 level, with a night of accommodation at the Bellevue Marriott Hotel. A deposit of $150 will reserve your spot on this amazing opportunity, with pricing starting at $730 per person based on double occupancy of the room.

“Watch for the prize information — we’re excited to announce that in later April, and running into the early part of our season,” said Swanson.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

November 21, 2024

VICTORIA, B.C. — Different sports, but the same community ideals.

The Victoria HarbourCats and Nanaimo NightOwls, of baseball’s West Coast League, and the Vancouver Island Soccer League (VISL), have entered into a strategic partnership intended to assist the entities in growing grassroots sports and improving facilities on Vancouver Island.

The VISL provides programming and championships on the Island and leads leagues which give the best soccer players an avenue to play the sport for life. Championships such as the Jackson Cup, with many finals played at Royal Athletic Park in Victoria, serve as the crown jewel of the VISL.

More than 6,000 participants are involved with the VISL — sports fans, who will keep track of the Island’s top baseball programs, the HarbourCats and NightOwls, who combined to draw more than 100,000 spectators in 2024.

The baseball teams and VISL will jointly promote each others’ schedules, and provide opportunities for youth participation.

“The atmosphere at HarbourCats and NightOwls games showcase the top fan engagement on the Island, a true gathering point in our communities,” said VISL Executive Director Vince Greco.

“Baseball fans are soccer fans, and soccer fans are baseball fans — it’s about supporting quality programs on the island and furthering awareness. Adding youth opportunities between the two will be the cherry on top.”

Watch for VISL events to recognize the work of the HarbourCats and NightOwls, and feature baseball games to celebrate the success of the VISL.

For more information on the VISL and their programs and offerings, please visit their website HERE.
