March 15th, 2021

Victoria, BC – The Victoria HarbourCats continue to optimistically prepare for the possibility of West Coast League baseball at Wilson’s Group Stadium this summer, today announcing that limited release of single-game tickets for any game in the scheduled 2021 season, will start Tuesday March 16th at 9:00 AM Pacific Time.

Tickets can be purchased on-line via Select Your Tickets at www.harbourcats.com/tickets, or fans may drop in to the HarbourCats offices at 101-1814 Vancouver Street (Masking and COVID protocols in place). Fans can also call the HarbourCats office to order over the phone at 778-265-0327. The Select Your Tickets box office is not yet available for ticket purchases.

Fans should note that not all seats will be available for purchase at this time, with Premium Reserved, Right-Field Reserved and General Admission being available initially.

Single-Game seats in the Grandstand and Campbell Club sections behind home plate are NOT on sale at this time. Seating in these areas is limited, relative to other sections, and in the event that the HarbourCats have to allow for social distancing, these are being held in reserve to allow for re-distribution of current season ticket holders, addition of any new season tickets and the allocation of 2021 tickets to any existing 2020 game ticket holders, or 2020/2021 voucher renewals.

Tickets in the Premium Reserved and Right Field Reserved Sections are also being restricted at this point to allow for social distancing. Sections 8 and 9 behind the HarbourCats dugout are also not for sale at this time, again to allow for possible re-distribution of season ticket holders and others as per the same reasons as the Grandstand seats above.

Those seats that are available in Sections 7, 11 and 12 in Premium Reserved and in Section 6, Right Field Reserved, will be sold on-line in pods of 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 tickets maximum. Anyone seeking single tickets should call, or drop in to the HarbourCats office to order.

As per HarbourCats normal ticket policy, any 2021 ticket purchase is non-refundable. In the event that the 2021 season, or any portion of it, has to be cancelled due to COVID restrictions, weather, or other reasons , all 2021 tickets will hold their value and be eligible to be exchanged for seats for games later in 2021 or all games in 2022.

“We continue to be optimistic about the 2021 season and are thrilled to be able to open ticket sales at this point to the general public,” said HarbourCats Assistant GM, Ticketing and Media, Christian J. Stewart. “We want to be ready to go when we are told we can go and we want our fans to be ready too! This has the potential to be a great celebratory return to the ballpark, HarbourCats baseball and normalcy, and when we play, we expect that all our games and seats will be in high demand.”

It is expected that Grandstand, Campbell Club and additional Premium Reserved and Right Field Reserved seats will go on sale once more is learned about any potential seating protocols, or crowd limitations that may have to be in place.

In addition to the restricted single game tickets on the 16th, fans can still purchase 2021 season tickets in ALL sections, with the HarbourCats 101 for 2021 promotion still in effect until April 15th. Each season ticket comes with free playoff tickets, a free whale watching pass from Prince of Whales, some HarbourCats merchandise and a 50.00 HarbourCats gift card (one per order). Call or drop into the office to order. As an added bonus, any season ticket purchased before April 15th, will also be entered into a draw for a getaway to the Moon Water Lodge and dinner for two at the Malahat Chalet, a $400.00 value.

10-Game flex packs are also available in all sections except Campbell Club, giving you 10 anytime vouchers that you can use in any combination you like. These can also be purchased at the office , but are also available at our on-line store at https://victoria-harbourcats-official.myshopify.com/

Fans holding game tickets from the cancelled 2020 season, or 2020 or 2021 ticket vouchers are strongly urged to come into the HarbourCats offices as soon as possible to exchange those seats, subject to availability, for any 2021 game of their choice. Initial windows of opportunity have been provided for these exchanges already, but with single game seats going on sale, availability in some sections could be limited.

Veteran outfielder returning for 2023 season

For Brandon Hupe, it felt like unfinished business — and he has a chance to fix that.

The outfielder from Vancouver and the UBC Thunderbirds saw his 2022 summer season cut short following a collision during a game in Port Angeles. But the 6-2/200 pounder, a junior at UBC, will get one last shot to star for Head Coach Greg Frady as the Nanaimo NightOwls are excited to announce his return to the WCL.

The NightOwls are announcing the additions of four players today, the others being infielder Jimmy Legg of Pomona Pitzer, and pitchers Tyson Willis and Ethan Hubbell from Everett CC (NWAC) for Pitching Coach Gorm Heimueller to work with.

Hupe (pronounced who-PAY) was a veteran influence on a young NightOwls team, hitting .283 with two home runs and nine runs driven in over 17 games — coming off a UBC season that yielded 12 home runs and 48 RBIs in 49 games at the NAIA level.

“We missed Brandon when he got hurt, there was a change in our team,” said Frady. “Brandon was one of our key leaders, he knew the caliber and nuances of the league (previously played in the WCL with Kelowna), and he helped us as coaches, along with leading our younger players.”

In Legg, the NightOwls are getting a 5-11/185 scrappy, switch-hitting shortstop who can also move to second or third — known as a guy who always seems to be on base, comes through in the clutch and runs well. At Pomona Pitzer, he is a glue guy because of how much he loves to play the game.

The two Everett CC arms include Willis, a Snohomish, WA product who pitched in the WCL for Springfield in 2022. The right-hander is touching 90 with a true hard curveball and developing changeup from a 6-4/220 frame. Hubbell, from Camas, WA, is even bigger at 6-5, another righty with upper-80s velocity and command of four pitches and a workhorse mentality.

Victoria HarbourCats – ‘Cats sign four, bring back Seward and Luchies

For Immediate Release

VICTORIA, B.C. — It’s the old baseball adage — you can never have enough arms.

The Victoria HarbourCats have added three arms, two of them returning and one a local product, as part of four more players who have signed on for the 2023 West Coast League season. The fourth player on the roster comes from a dependable source of quality players — Cal Baptist.

Pitchers Jack Seward and Owen Luchies, both parts of the 2022 HarbourCats team that reached the WCL post-season, and Victoria Golden Tide ace Brady Wilson lead the latest signings, with versatile outfielder/second baseman Nick Dumesnil, a right-handed hitter from Huntington Beach, CA, a bat the team will look to for key offensive production. Dumesnil is 6-2/205 freshman and is known for a mix of speed and power that will be welcomed by Head Coach Todd Haney.

“We’ve spent even more time on pitching this year, it’s always a premium but it’s never easy to get that right mix for the staff — it’s the one area we are constantly looking to get better,” said Haney. “We’ve been known as a strong offensive team since even before I got here, and we know the best arms make all the difference.”

Vancouver product Jack Seward, now at Central Arizona, was 1-0 with three saves and a 1.15 ERA in 14 outings last summer, giving up earned runs in only two outings. He surrendered just 10 hits in 23 innings. Luchies, from Victoria, is a 6-2/195 pound freshman at Lower Columbia (NWAC) who started five games and threw 36 innings for the HarbourCats in 2022. He had 25 strikeouts, notched one save, was 2-2 with a 6.44 ERA and earned road wins in Port Angeles and Nanaimo.

Wilson, 6-1/175 from Calgary, was the workhorse for the Victoria collegiate Golden Tide in the spring of 2022, going a combined 3-4 with a 4.06 ERA in nine starts. He then spent the summer in the Western Canada Baseball League with the Fort McMurray Giants, where he was 5-5/4.94.

The HarbourCats celebrate their 10th Anniversary in 2023 and the season kicks off with the home opener against the Kamloops NorthPaws on Friday June 2, 2023. Single game tickets for that game and all 31 HarbourCats home games in 2023 are now on sale and can be purchased on-line through our one-and-only ticketing partner, Select Your Tickets, at harbourcats.com/tickets. They can also be purchased at the HarbourCats office at 101-1814 Vancouver Street, or at the Select Your Tickets box office at Save-on-Foods Memorial Centre. Fans can also call 778-265-0327 to order over the phone.

Season tickets and 10-game flex packs are also now on sale. For details on all ticketing options, including our special $10.00 Tuesdays, Forces Fridays and Save-on-Food Vouchers, please visit harbourcats.com/ticketinfo
