This article contains the following information about the Vancouver Canadians:

The Vancouver Canadians

The Vancouver Canadians are one of Metro Vancouver’s main professional sports teams with the others being the Vancouver Canucks for hockey, Vancouver Whitecaps for soccer, and BC Lions for football.

Affiliated with the Toronto Blue Jays and part of the Northwest League, the Vancouver Canadians play other baseball teams from Washington and Oregon.

There used to be eight teams in the old Northwest League, but two teams dropped out after the league was replaced in 2021 by High-A West as part of the MLB reorganizing how it structures the minor leagues. There are also High-A Central and East leagues, both of which have twelve teams.

In 2022 the High-A West League was renamed the Northwest League after the MLB acquired the rights to the name of that and other former minor leagues.

The regular season for the High-A West League and the Vancouver Canadians used to not start until the summer. Now it’s a couple months longer, running from April until September.

Vancouver Canadians home games are at Scotiabank Field at Nat Bailey Stadium which is located at 4601 Ontario Street. Nat Bailey Stadium is also the venue for the Riley Park Winter Farmers Market (which runs from November until April) and is next door to Queen Elizabeth Park.

Northwest League Championships

The regular season finishes for the Vancouver Canadians at the beginning of September. The top two teams in the regular season qualify for the best-of-five championship series which is played immediately after the regular season ends.

The Canadians captured three league titles in a row from 2011 to 2013 and then won again in 2017. In 2022, the team finished with a 67-62 record but lost the Northwest League Championship Series to the Eugene Emeralds.

Last year, the Vancouver Canadians were crowned champions for the fifth time! They had a 77-54 record and beat the Everett AquaSox in the Northwest League Championship Series.
