A Western Manitoba Junior all-stars team was formed in 1971 by Junior-aged players on teams in the Manitoba Senior Baseball League. In 1972 the players recruited Glennis Scott and Al Robertson as coaches. They won the provincial championship and represented Manitoba at the Junior National tournament in Point-Aux-Tremblay, Quebec. In 1973 the all stars won the Manitoba championship, beating out tough teams from St. Boniface and Giroux. They then went to the Canada Summer Games in Burnaby/New Westminster, B.C. They finished the round robin in their pool at two wins and two losses. They beat Nova Scotia in the semi-final but fell 5-2 to B.C. in the gold medal game. Jeff Sheardown had a great week at the plate, smacking three home runs in the six games. This team was one of four Manitoba teams that have won silver at a Canada Summer Games. No Manitoba team has managed to win gold.
