Introducing Player of the Week Honours
The Western Canadian Baseball League has partnered with Village Brewery and SaskTel to present Player of the Week honours throughout the 2026 season.
“We are delighted to have SaskTel and Village Brewery on board with celebrating the top pitchers and hitters in our league,” said WCBL Director of Corporate Sponsorships Noah Rolheiser.
“Our players represent some of the highest-end baseball talent in North America and any opportunity we can get to put a spotlight on them is very much appreciated.”
Each Monday during the WCBL regular season the Alberta Player of the Week from Village Brewery will recognize an exceptional athlete from a West Division team, while the Saskatchewan Player of the Week from SaskTel will honour a top player from an East Division squad.
Some of the best pitchers and batters in the WCBL will be honoured through this initiative.
The Player of the Week awards will commence on Monday, June 8th and continue to be announced each Monday for the remainder of the regular season.

The wood-bat league consists of two divisions, an all-Alberta West Division and an East Division comprised of five Saskatchewan squads and a franchise from Alberta.
