Put together a softball tournament with 2,000-plus players, and there’s a great chance some of those sluggers will hail from Cow Town.

The 30th annual Canada Cup runs July 4-13 in Surrey, British Columbia — AKA “Softball City” — and a number of Coupeville athletes are participating this season.

Recent CHS grads Taylor Brotemarkle and Madison McMillan, joined by Oak Harbor compatriots Layla Suto, Mia Regan, and Ramona Ryder, play for the Whidbey Island Thunder 18U team, which went 3-2 in their appearance.

That squad has a couple more tourneys on their schedule as its travel ball season runs through the end of July.

Also playing in Canada was the Island Vipers, which has a sizable chunk of Wolf varsity players on its roster.

Plus, All-World catcher Teagan Calkins is prepping for her senior year at CHS while anchoring Elevate NW Elite.

The Canada Cup draws teams from multiple states, with the USA and Canada being joined by squads from as far away as Israel, New Zealand, The Netherlands, and Taiwan.
