Twelve teams have committed to take part in the 2015 Kaien Island Slo-Pitch Leage (KISL); the same number as last year.

The Crest Angels, Northern Breeze, Honey Badgers, Rupert Cleaners, Mackenzie 69ers, CFA Brew Jays, Canadian Wood and Steel, Britco, Seasport Sluggers, Grassy Bay, Frank’s Auto and the Coast Industrial Construction Leftovers are all in competition for the 2015 “A” division crown, a title that the Leftovers claimed with a 10-3 win over Frank’s Auto last year.

The Honey Badgers took the “B” league, led by MVPs Michelle Mintenko and Justin Adams.

The league will host four tournaments during the year, pending it has the volunteers needed for each one, including the Ice-breaker tourney, Seafest, the Patty Hutcheon Memorial Midseason Tournament and the Bob Hellyer tournament.

Each team typically plays approximately 33 games each, taking to the diamond twice a week from Monday to Thursday from the beginning of May until late September at Maguire Field and the Ladies’ Diamond in the evenings.
