This is an original Team Manitoba hat from the very first Canada Summer Games, which were held in Halifax in 1969. We had considering adopting the brown color tones for our team's uniforms this year, however the black and gold were just easier colors to source.
This hat will be awarded to Team Toba's player of the game after each game this season, starting tomorrow when we open our season against the Eastman Wildcats. The player awarded the hat will then get to wear it as much as they'd like before it is awarded to the subsequent player of the game.
Thanks to Don Klym at the Softball Manitoba office for loaning us the hat from his personal collection!
