If your child is interested in tryout out for the 13U AA team....
The Tri-City Thunder are excited to announce training sessions for our
2023-13U Pee Wee AA team. Here is a message from one of the coaches,
Dan Wise.
Hello parents, we have an excellent coaching staff lined up to run the 13U AA team for the 2023 season. The coaches and I are wanting to start our season with training sessions starting in January. These training sessions will run into late February and possibly early March and will give
the coaches quality time with the prospects for the AA team.
For these training sessions, we are asking that AA caliber kids come out
with us, we will likely have 18 to 20 kids for these sessions and then bring
that number down to 12 kids for our season roster.
The season will begin in April and ideally, we would like to run the team into the summer season
hopefully culminating at Provincials.
The sessions will be every Saturday from 530-7, starting on January 7 th and
running until February 18th .
The sessions will be at Futbol 5 in New West
behind the Amazon warehouse. 109 Braid Building C, New Westminster
BC
The cost for the sessions will be $150.

PeeWee A Summer Team
In the inaugural season of the newly formed Tri City Thunder, the U13A team qualified for the B.C. Provincials Tournament, hosted this year in Surrey B.C. (August 4-7, 2022). The tournament consisted of ten teams from the Okanagan, Northern B.C., and the Lower Mainland.
On day one, the Thunder suffered a tough loss against the eventual undefeated provincial champs from Langley. The following afternoon the Thunder found their groove with a convincing win over the host team, Surrey in five innings. The game displayed some stellar pitching by first year prospects, Liam Wise, and Tristan Currie. Along with great pitching Brayden Stephen showed his skills in the outfield with some highlight reel catches near the wall. That day, the Thunder played a second game which featured team captain, Nolan Schmidt hitting his first home run of the tournament, and a strong outing on the mound from first year ace, Ethan Leroux. Despite their efforts, the team lost 15-12 to the team from Aldergrove.
On day three of the tournament, the Thunder returned to form. Starter, Nolan Schmidt pitched four near perfect innings with a 10 combined strikeouts and Wesley Letourneau followed suit by hitting his first home run of the tournament. Twin brother Oliver was not to be out done, as he showed sharp skills in the field with some crucial outs. Strong base running which the team is known for and a hot bat by Tristan Newman solidified the dominant win in six innings over a strong team from Prince George.
When the dust settled, the Thunder fell just short of playing in the semi finals of the tournament as they lost the tie breaker to Aldergrove.
Of note, the team took part in the skills competition during the opening ceremonies which featured five players being crowned provincial base running champions. (Nolan Schmidt, Tristan Newman, Brayden Stephen, Ethan Leroux, and Tristan Currie)
Game MVP’s – Tristan Newman, Tristan Currie, Ethan Leroux, Nolan Schmidt

Amalgamation
Dear Players and Parents,
As you may have heard Coquitlam Minor Baseball and PoCo Minor Baseball have filed amalgamation paperwork to combine clubs and create a new association called Tri City Thunder Minor Baseball.
We are now permanently merged at ALL levels going forward for all ages.
The process is quite similar to what you already know from the past with regards to coaches and field locations in proximity to your community.
We are bigger and will definitely will be more successful as a larger club.
Questions can be directed to clubhouse@cmmba.com We are working on new email address and website and will be available soon.
Thanks
John Powell
