Local Sports Optimism

Laurentian Baseball and Sudbury U16 Hockey Find Fresh Reasons for Optimism

The Laurentian Voyageurs men’s baseball team is optimistic about their 2026 campaign, largely due to the return of coach Patrick Whalen and the talent at his disposal. Local product Noah Leveille, a graduate of Ecole secondaire catholique Champlain, noted that the team performed well in a three-game exhibition against Queen’S, the University of Toronto and Laurier. The challenge will be to produce enough runs to secure victories when opponents are held to four runs or less. The team's new coach, Jason Young, is hopeful that the game plan is beginning to grasp that will allow them to be competitive against teams. Despite an exodus of some top 2011-born talent, Young expects the team to play well in the future.
