Slide 1 of 10
"I decided to move to Okotoks to focus on baseball by playing in the Dawgs Academy. It was the turning point for me because I developed a lot more than I could back home. It eventually landed me at Chandler-Gilbert CC, then eventually a scholarship to NCAA D1 Southern Illinois University before being selected in the 7th round by the Milwaukee Brewers and truly the most thrilling thing to ever happen in my life"

Tristan Peters, Chandler-Gilbert CC, Southern Illinois University; Tampa Bay Rays
"Throughout high school the Dawgs taught me what quality hard work is and the importance of discipline. The Dawgs helped me get placed at the next level, ultimately at Iowa Western, while providing a place to train whenever I am home during the off-season"

Matt Lloyd, Iowa Western CC, Indiana University, St. Louis Cardinals
"Being in the Dawgs program was the best decision my family and I made to take a serious approach towards baseball. They gave me every opportunity to get exposure to collegiate programs all around North America. The facilities, competition, community, everything that has a connection with the Dawgs Academy is unlike any other and I am forever grateful to be part of the Dawgs legacy."

Justin King, Indian Hills CC, University of Alabama, University of Louisiana-Monroe; Miami Marlins
"The Dawgs program provided a high level of competition for Canadian baseball players similar to, if not, more than our American counter parts. Playing in highly scouted tournaments and against top programs across North America provided opportunities for all Dawgs players to move on to collegiate and/or professional baseball. I would not have been able to reach the levels I did without the foundation that the Dawgs provided. Beyond the on-field accomplishments, the Dawgs community, along with the coaching staff and players provided a support group and relationships that will last a life time. Once a Dawg, always a Dawg."

Jim Henderson, Milwaukee Brewers and New York Mets MLB Pitcher, Milwaukee Brewers Scout
"Playing for The Dawgs youth baseball team was the best experience I could have ever asked for. I would not have been able to play college or professional baseball if not for the development opportunities that I benefitted from during my time with the Dawgs. The top notch coaching and the exposure of playing against the best competition in North America while with the Dawgs allowed me to take the next step. More importantly, the work ethic I developed and the friendships I made during that time will last me a lifetime. I am so proud to be able to say that I am a Dawg for life."

Emerson Frostad, Lawyer Bennett Jones LLP, MiLB Player Texas Rangers/Houston Astros, 2008 Canadian Olympic Baseball Team
"The Dawgs played a major role in unlocking so many experiences and doors for me. The program's community is all about supporting and nurturing young athletes to be the best they can be in all aspects of their lives. I owe a significant part of my academic, professional and athletic success to the Dawgs organization and I can't think of a better place to grow up than in a Dawgs uniform".

Vincent Ircandia, Niagara University, MBA from USC; Founder and CEO StellarAlgo Corp., Former Senior Vice President Portland Trailblazers
“In the beginning the Dawgs Program was a place to meet likeminded friends who dreamed big and aspired for more on the field. As we grew older and tested our skills as players against top US competition, we learned how to manage our school work with our athletic ambitions. The Dawgs prepared us for the rigours of what is college and professional baseball along with the work ethic required to succeed in life after sport.”

Matthew Ircandia, San Francisco Giants Draft Pick, Niagara University; Crude and Liquids Marketing Analyst Tourmaline Oil Corp.
"The Dawgs were instrumental in my development. The amount of hours that get put in by the coaching staff paired with the facilities cannot be topped. I've carried some of the things I learnt in the Dawgs program with me all the way through college and into pro ball. I don't know if I would be where I am if it wasn't for the Dawgs."

Ben Thompson, Chandler-Gilbert CC; Atlanta Braves
"Having the opportunity to play and graduate from the Dawgs Academy helped me develop as a baseball player, and most importantly as a person. The program’s elite coaches instilled the values of discipline, hard work, competitiveness and passion that I still carry with me today. The Dawgs helped facilitate the opportunity to fulfill all my dreams of playing collegiate and professional baseball. With the first class facilities, top level professional coaching, and unrivaled competitive schedule around North America, I am so lucky to now be able to give back to the next generation of Dawgs players wanting to accomplish all their athletic, academic and life goals.”

Tyler Hollick, Chandler-Gilbert Community College; San Francisco Giants Organization | Dawgs General Manager
"I spent four years in the Dawgs Academy and played four seasons on the collegiate Dawgs team. The program molded me into the man I am today. I went to Northeastern Junior College and Northern Kentucky University, where I was drafted in the 14th round of the 2014 MLB Amateur Draft to the Boston Red Sox. The opportunities I have had in my career have all been made possible because of the Dawgs program."
