Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the schedule is subject to approval from local health authorities. While the NorthPaws are committed to have a safe and fun experience with fans in attendance, determinations about specific gameday details will be made at a later date in co-ordination with health authorities. “While there are uncertainties today, we’re very optimistic and excited about playing baseball next summer,” Pankuch said. “However the circumstances unfold in the coming months, we’re committed to ensuring the safety of our fans, players, staff and volunteers next summer.” The Kamloops NorthPaws are an expansion West Coast League franchise bringing the highest calibre baseball Canada’s Tournament Capital has ever seen.
