FOUR WAYS TO WIN TAYLOR SWIFT TICKETS on Vancouver Island, thanks to Maxxam Insurance

The HarbourCats, along with our friends at the Nanaimo NightOwls, Maxxam Insurance, Champ Promotions and the Cowichan Valley Capitals are offering fans a chance to win Taylor Swift tickets for the concerts in Vancouver in December!

For Immediate Release

February 7, 2024

Victoria, BC  – She’s a phenomenon, the hottest act on Planet Earth — and Vancouver Island sports groups, including your Victoria HarbourCats, have teamed up with Maxxam Insurance to give fans four different venues to win tickets to the high-in-demand (and expensive!) Taylor Swift concerts coming to Vancouver in December.

The top baseball teams in Victoria and Nanaimo, the HarbourCats and NightOwls, along with Champ Promotions and the Cowichan Valley Capitals, each have two tickets for Taylor Swift that will be given away live at their respective events.  Your first chance to win is on May 11th but it might be wise (Owl reference)  to get tickets to all of the events to increase your odds.  These events will sell out so get your tickets as soon as you can.

Each of the four events will have a prize of two tickets — a total of eight tickets are up for grabs.

May 11, Pearkes Recreation Centre — Champ Promotions Boxing Card

Every ticket purchased for the Champ Promotions – Round 4 event on May 11th will earn an entry into the Taylor Swift tickets draw to see her in live in concert in December in Vancouver, B.C. Two tickets will be given away live at Champ Promotions – Round 4!  Champ Promotions – Round 4 is not only your first opportunity to win Taylor Swift tickets, but also your best odds.  There are only 1700 tickets to be sold for the May 11th event and someone will leave that night with a pair of tickets.  Tickets  to Champ Promotions – Round 4 are now available at ChampPromotions.com, and more information at https://harbourcats.com/maxxam

June 25-26-27-28, Wilson’s Group Stadium at RAP — Victoria HarbourCats

Tickets to each game in the four-game series will earn an entry into the draw for two tickets, to be made near the end of the June 28 game at Wilson’s Group Stadium at Royal Athletic Park. When fans enter the park, they will get an entry form to add to the draw barrel.

BONUS — All game tickets for those four games purchased by March 31 will receive a bonus entry into the draw — so you will want to get those tickets early, either online at www.harbourcats.com/tickets or in the team office at 101-1814 Vancouver Street. New Season Ticket holders who purchase before March 31 and existing Season Ticket Holders who renew and pay in full for their seats by March 31 will also receive TWO bonus entries.

HarbourCats in 30 to air throughout the summer

May 22, 2025

For immediate release

VICTORIA, B.C. — Vancouver Islands’ local television station and Victoria’s top summer sports team are joining forces.

CHEK TV will air “HarbourCats in 30” after all home games played at Wilson’s Group Stadium at Royal Athletic Park this season. As the name suggests, it’s a 30-minute highlight package that will follow the popular CHEK News at 10pm, with HarbourCats in 30 slated to start at 10:30pm.

This follows in the shoes of the popular “Royals in 30” that CHEK has aired during the winter WHL season.

“The HarbourCats are such an important part of summer on the Island, and we’re proud to share that experience with an even wider audience,” said Rob Germain, General Manager of CHEK Media. “HarbourCats in 30 captures all the excitement of the game and the spirit of the fans—delivered after every home game on CHEK TV, CHEK+, and CHEK’s YouTube channel.”

The HarbourCats play nearly every day in summer, this year starting on the road in Kelowna on May 30. The home opener is June 6, vs the cross-strait rival Port Angeles Lefties — the HarbourCats, before the playoffs, will play 60 games in 68 days, with 33 of those at home in Victoria, the familiar stadium on the corner of Caledonia and Vancouver.

“We are beyond excited to team up with our longtime friends at CHEK for these highlight shows, so more people can see our players perform and work to make the highest level,” said Jim Swanson, Managing Partner of the HarbourCats. “We are proud of the events we put on, and also our success on the field. Having eight of our players reach the Major Leagues in just 10 seasons is a credit to the community, our coaches and our staff.”

CHEK was the first private television station in B.C. and is the first and only employee-owned TV station in North America, now celebrating nearly 70 years in the community and 15 years of being independently owned.

The HarbourCats debuted in 2013 and are the longest-operating baseball club in Victoria’s history. Three times the team has made it to the final WCL playoff game, and in 2016 set the WCL record with a 19-game winning streak.

The HarbourCats open their 2025 home schedule on Friday, June 6, with the Port Angeles Lefties visiting Wilson’s Group Stadium at RAP. Season Tickets, 10 and 32-Game Flex Passes and Single Game Tickets are now on sale for all 33 home games and four “Showcase” events through the HarbourCats new and one-and-only ticketing partner SHOWPASS at harbourcats.com/tickets.

Tickets and merchandise can also be purchased in person at the HarbourCats office at 101-1814 Vancouver Street or by calling 778-265-0327.

PRE-SEASON MEET AND GREET! – The HarbourCats invite all fans to their 2025 Pre-Season Mixer on Tuesday, May 27th, from 5pm to 7pm at Mayfair Optometric Clinic at 3196 Douglas Street just opposite the intersection with Tolmie Avenue.  Meet some of the players, coaches and our staff, grab some merchandise, high five Harvey and enjoy some beverages and snacks on us!

Victoria HarbourCats – HarbourCats to salute local legend Cliff Lequesne on July 17

Published

May 13, 2025

For immediate release

VICTORIA, BC — His voice, is everywhere in Victoria, in terms of sports, the signature of his presence at games and events for more than 40 years.

The Victoria HarbourCats will salute local broadcasting legend Cliff Lequesne on July 17 — as he continues to go strong as the morning news and sports icon at The Q, while handling in-house “voice of God” duties for the Royals, Grizzlies and Shamrocks.

His legendary run started at CFAX in 1972, learning from the unforgettable Ken Dobson, and he moved to The Q in 1987. He’s handled sports duties with the Pan Am Games, Commonwealth Games, the historic fastball teams that once ruled RAP, and even the Victoria Cougars — no, not the ones that won the Stanley Cup in 1925 (how old was Cliff then?), but the WHL version including the legendary 1981 run to the Memorial Cup.

“Cliff really IS sports in Victoria in so many ways, a worthy inductee into the Greater Victoria Sports Hall of Fame this past fall,” said Jim Swanson, who oversees the HarbourCats and is also a member of the Hall of Fame board.

“He’s one of the most likeable guys in Victoria, and remembers details, maybe only Cleve Dheensaw of the Times Colonist is in his category for sports media in the city. A gentleman and we are proud to honour him.”

Cliff — and his famous Cliff’s Call — and battery mate Ed Bain can be heard mornings on The Q.

Lequesne will be on the mic for the Emery Electric Fastpitch Challenge on Saturday, May 31, helping recall events of the past and introduce some of the fastball legends of yesteryear before a doubleheader (4pm, 6pm) between the host Sooke Loggers and the Lacey A’s, the first return of fastball to Wilson’s Group Stadium at RAP in decades. The games are possible because of Emery Electric and the support of the HarbourCats Foundation.

Tickets for the Emery Electric Fastpitch Challenge and the Cliff Lequesne Salute on July 17 are available at harbourcats.com/tickets.

The HarbourCats open their 2025 home schedule on Friday, June 6, with the Port Angeles Lefties visiting Wilson’s Group Stadium at RAP. Season Tickets, 10 and 32-Game Flex Passes and Single Game Tickets are now on sale for all 33 home games and four “Showcase” events through the HarbourCats new and one-and-only ticketing partner SHOWPASS at harbourcats.com/tickets.

Tickets and merchandise can also be purchased in person at the HarbourCats office at 101-1814 Vancouver Street or by calling 778-265-0327.
