The Okotoks Dawgs kicked off the 2026 Western Canadian Baseball League season with a resounding 15-4 victory over the Brooks Bombers at Seaman Stadium in Okotoks on Canada Day. A packed house of 6,498 fans celebrated the ballpark's 20th birthday, enjoying a festive atmosphere that included fireworks and special events. The Dawgs' offense exploded early, scoring five runs in the first inning and never looking back. Pitcher Ryan Johnson earned the win, striking out seven over six innings. The game was part of a day-long celebration that featured a pre-game ceremony honoring the stadium's history and community impact. Seaman Stadium, which opened in 2006, has become a landmark in Okotoks and a key venue for summer collegiate baseball in Alberta. The Dawgs are looking to build on last season's success and contend for the WCBL championship.
