Edmonton Prospects
The Edmonton Prospects are a dormant collegiate summer baseball team based in Edmonton, 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 from the WMBL for the 2008 season before returning in 2009 under their current name. Prior to the 2012 season they played out of John Fry Park on the south side of Edmonton. In 2012 the Prospects began playing out of 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 out of RE/MAX Field from 2012 through 2019. In 2020, the pandemic shut down all sports teams from playing with a live audience. The Prospects played the 2021 and 2022 Seasons with Centennial Park in Sherwood Park being used as their home base. In 2023, they decided to take a summer off as they were continuing construction work on Myshak Metro Ballpark "The Ballpark
