Canada East Qualifier for #ISCWT2025

We're pleased to present the schedule for the 2025 ISC Canada East Qualifier June 13-15 in Mitchell, Ontario. We have three divisions this year: White & Red in ISC along with Legends. With the unique nature of the 2025 season, we're utilizing pool play rather than our traditional double knock-out format to maximize games and play for teams, players and fans. This will undoubtedly be one of the best tournaments this summer! We look forward to seeing you in Mitchell and we're happy to have Softball Premier streaming every game from Diamond A over the course of the weekend!

A Love for the Game Rooted in Family From the moment Mitchell Armstrong first stepped onto the diamond at age five, softball became more than just a sport—it became a family affair. Coached by his mother throughout his youth and inspired by his Grandpa Jack, Mitchell’s early years were filled with passion, discipline, and drive. “My mom and brother have pushed me to become the player I am today,” he says. “They always encouraged me to do my best and love the game.” The Dirt Guy Known affectionately as “The Dirt Guy,” Mitchell embraces a unique pre-pitch ritual: grabbing a handful of dirt before every pitch. “It reminds me of the happiness this sport gives me,” he shares. “And it helps my hands stay dry!” Hard Lessons, Stronger Resolve In 2011, a fractured foot kept Mitchell from playing in his first provincials—a heartbreaking setback that taught him the importance of caution and preparation. That experience fueled his determination to stay mentally and physically ready for every big stage, including multiple ISC World Tournament appearances.
