Baseball Hall of Famer Roberto Alomar will act as the tournament commissioner and will receive assistance from his father Sandy, along with Blue Jays alumni.

Hammill and O'Halloran will suit up for the Futures Team.

MacNeil will pitch for Ontario Green while Ellis, Stremlaw, Gomm and Wright‎ will suit up for Ontario Black.

Other teams represented will be from Quebec, Alberta, BC, the Prairies and Atlantic Canada.
