History

Full of fervor and good intentions, George Masters a tranplant from Petersfield Manitoba and long time friend Gary McConnell former Royal City 3rd baseman decided on April 01, 2000 to form the Marauders Slow Pitch Club (MSPC). After considerable debate and effort looking for fellow cohorts and patriots in the softball field. We were delighted to discover that slow pitch icons Saulnier, Campbell, Klassen, Stewart, Fraser & McMitchell were of appropriate age and if offered the right enticements, available to join the ranks of the MSPC staff. These fine slow pitch patriots introduced us to so many of our now loyal followers who are eager to further our cause in senior slow pitch by assisting wherever and whenever they are able!

The newly formed MSPC staff exhausted their creative capacities and painstakingly put in place the pieces needed for a sustainable power-house. They devised a new logo for the t-shirts and web site for the pleasure of other patriotic slow pitch players of the future.
The logo is, as you must notice, somewhat fiery, this intense flame like action being intended to symbolize the relentless action of a hot senior slow pitch club. Although several designs were commissioned, this image spoke to the brain trust. All were much impressed by the bold lettering and particularly by the aforementioned fiery blazing action. True to Marauder form, the logo is unpretentious, stylish yet subdued, seemingly harmless but with pokey bits and sharp edges, aware of its inherent coolness yet without an insufferable "rippling flag" gif which we are all very sick of thank you very much!
The history continues from 2000 until the present the awards keep piling up as the Marauders continue to dominate in the senior slopitch class . They are now Provincial, Canadian and World champs look for them to continue as Jim Klassen { Director of Player Personel } for the 50+ Marauders and { Gord Campbell Director of Player Personel } for the Marauder Vets continue their search for the best quality players available to join the Marauders
