Gremlins, followed by Stompers, Express and Chiefs at top of ISC May Rankings
We are excited to announce the ISC May Rankings. The Rankings Committee has selected 15 rankers from all over the United States and Canada. The group is comprised of Players, Coaches, Administrators, and Associates of the ISC.
Ranking all the teams attending the ISC is a daunting task, so if a ranker was unfamiliar with a team and chose not to rank them, then the average of the other rankers was used.
A total of 26 teams received consideration from the Rankers. Teams that didn't submit rosters by the May 15 deadline were not considered for the May rankings, but will be included in future releases.

Lions Park in Simcoe, Ontario is host to Chiefs Challenge
ISC Canada East is pleased to announce that our 2026 Qualifier will be coming back to Keterson Park in Mitchell, ON on the traditional Father’s Day weekend of June 19-21. Format will be the same as established in 2025, with a Premier Division featuring Hill United Chiefs, Bear Creek Express, NorthEast Drillers, Bear Creek Gremlins, JDT First Energy and Toronto Batmen – all of whom finished in the Elite 8 at last year’s ISC World Tournament. The ISC Division is expected to host 12 teams. Paid berths plus travel money will be payable to the winners of each division. We will also be hosting a 4-team Legends event. Entry fees will be finalized early in 2026. Softball Premier will be on hand once again to provide coverage of what undoubtedly will be one of the top events on the tournament circuit. We want to acknowledge the cooperation of both Bear Creek Sports & Entertainment and Hill United Chiefs in scheduling three top notch events in a tripleheader through June 2026 as we all build toward the 80th Annual ISC World Tournament at JDT First Energy Veterans Memorial Fields in Melbourne, ON in August. We strongly encourage teams to confirm their intent to enter the Qualifier as soon as possible as space will be limited. In addition, we recommend teams look to secure hotel rooms or rental property space early. For additional information, please reach out to Blair, Joe, Scott or AJ.
