McFarland: Regina Dusters’ upcoming trip to Cuba “bigger than baseball”
“It is shaping up to be an experience the Regina Dusters won’t soon forget.
Created in 2020 to help give kids the chance to play baseball for a while longer, the Dusters have traveled to Las Vegas and Arizona for winter tournaments in the past.
But nothing will compare to what they have planned when the board the plane for Cuba in February 2025.
It’s an idea they have been tossing around for a few months, and once they received confirmation and commitments from the team, they started pushing ahead with the logistics.”

During the summer months, the Saskatoon product has been found in a variety of ballparks plying his trade as a catcher and pitcher.
Once the fall arrives, he’s on the football field as an outside linebacker for the St. Joseph High School Guardians.

With a moving in date set for June of next year, the multi-million dollar stadium project has moved well beyond photorealistic renderings and that much closer to becoming a reality.
It’s been a painstakingly long process from when the stadium was initially conceived in 2020 by Pat Cassidy – owner of the WCBL’s Edmonton Prospects – to get to this stage, which now includes the horizon-altering vertical construction of the baseball venue.”
