MIST Toronto 2021 Announcement

MIST Toronto Tournament Committee and the Cabbagetown Group Softball League were looking forward to host visiting teams and players from the U.S. and Canada over Canada Day – Independence Day weekend this July 2021; unfortunately, with the uncertainty of large events in Toronto and along with other factors, we have made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s MIST Toronto tournament.

The Committee Directors met with the Commissioners of the MIST cities and based on the pandemic effects, compiled with the uncertainty of the border opening, concerns with the health and safety of participants, lack of business and sponsor support, it was not an easy decision, but the best for all involved. 

We appreciate that this will be a disappointment to many as it will be the second year that we will not be able to get together to enjoy the sport that we all love. 

Discussions with the MIST City Commissioners revealed that none of the three cities had capacity to pick it up for this season as well and it was decided that Detroit would host in 2022. 

Toronto will host in 2023, with hosting rotation continuing with Cleveland hosting in 2024 and Cincinnati in 2025. 

We realize this has been a difficult time for everyone, and we would all like to be playing the sport that we love this season and to enjoy socializing with our teammates and friends.  The decision was not an easy one, but we believe it is the best choice considering the ongoing uncertainty of the pandemic.

We are looking forward to seeing everyone in Detroit in 2022 and particularly in Toronto in 2023.

Please stay safe and continue to ensure your personal welfare.
