Edmonton Prospects
The Edmonton Prospects are a collegiate summer baseball team based in Sherwood Park, Alberta, Canada. They play in the Western Canadian Baseball League. The team was founded in 2005 as the Edmonton Big River Prospects but moved to the Edmonton suburb of St. Albert after only one year of use of Telus Field with the Edmonton Cracker-Cats of the Northern League. They took a leave of absence for the 2008 season before returning in 2009 under their current name. Prior to the 2012 season they played at John Fry Park on the south side of Edmonton. In 2012 the Prospects began playing at Telus Field, which was renamed RE/MAX Field in 2017 after Prospects' management put together a proposal with RE/MAX Real Estate for naming rights. The Prospects continued to play at RE/MAX Field from 2012 through 2019. The 2020 season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Prospects played the 2021 and 2022 seasons with Centennial Park in Sherwood Park as their home base. In 2023, they decided to take a summer off as construction on Myshak Metro Ballpark in Spruce Grove continued, and they plan to move there when it opens. Because of construction delays on the new ballpark, the team did not play in 2023 and returned to Sherwood Park for 2024.
