n behalf of Softball Canada, I would like to extend our deepest thanks to the organizers and supporters of the 2011 Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship. This event is important to the game on so many levels. First to all the players, through all the divisions, it is a chance to measure yourself against the best at your level of competition in a fun, professionally organized tournament. Lifetime memories are made here. For the coaches, officials, volunteers and supporters we sincerely appreciate your interest and efforts on behalf of our sport. You are all making a difference. One of the ways you can see that difference is on the field. Softball Canada will have two national teams on the field here. Our senior national team is coming off a best-ever bronzemedal performance at the 2010 World Championships. Many of the players on that team, and this year’s team, have greatly benefitted from the type of competition that you are seeing at this year’s event and we sincerely appreciate the participation of the other national teams competing. So, regardless of which game you go to, and please go to lots of them, you’ll be sure to see everyone giving their all to make the 2011 Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship one that you’ll never forget. Thanks for being part of it. Kevin Quinn President Softball Canada

n behalf of the Board of Directors of Softball B.C. and our 26,000 members, I would like to welcome all the athletes, coaches, umpires, volunteers, fans and supporters of the teams to the 2011 Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship. As president of Softball B.C., it is very encouraging to see this prestigious tournament return to an international format, while still retaining the focus for the Futures and Showcase divisions. This championship allows all of our softball fans an opportunity to see what can be accomplished by dedication, hard work and focusing on goals to be the best in your sport. Softball B.C. is honoured to work with the organizing committee and the numerous volunteers required to make this championship the truly memorable event that I am sure it will be. This event will showcase some of the finest individual fastball players and teams in the world. A championship of this scope requires an enormous amount of planning and commitment on the part of the tournament committee to incorporate essentially three tournaments into one event. It is destined to create an atmosphere which is inspiring, memorable and fun for all participants. Yet not forgetting that the tournament's success is measured not in numbers and size, but, in the spirit and sportsmanship of those who participate. Softball British Columbia wishes all teams, coaches and players much success as you confront the challenges of competition. I trust that your experience in this championship will be an exciting and rewarding one. Sincerely, Dennis Bidin President Softball B.C.
O
n behalf of the Province of B.C., I would like to welcome the athletes, coaches, officials and spectators to the Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship. The success of the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games solidified B.C.’s reputation as an exceptional sport event host. With support from the province, the Hosting BC program assists sport-event organizers to maintain this profile and enhance their hosting skills and experiences. Hosting sport events provides a significant economic boost to a host community, builds the volunteer base and supports the sport development pathway. I would like to thank the organizers of the Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship, Softball B.C., sponsors, volunteers and coaches for all of the hard work they have put into this event. I am confident the City of Surrey will benefit from the many economic, sport and social legacies this event will leave behind. I wish the best of luck to all the athletes for a successful competition. Sincerely, Stephanie Cadieux Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development 8 | 2011 Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship

Team Canada/L'equip du Canada +FOOJGFS :FF Jennifer Yee is one of the most exciting players to watch this year on Team Canada – a former Olympian and veteran of many international competitions. As a local North Delta athlete, Jennifer first competed at the tournament in the Futures division in 2004. Even before Jennifer was eligible to compete, she remembers coming to the tournament with her team to watch this inspiring event – and how motivating it was. Not only is Jennifer one of the top softball players in the country, she’s also an impressive scholar. Jennifer completed her undergraduate degree in materials science and engineering at Georgia Tech. While attending Georgia Tech, Jennifer was named a top three finalist for the 2010 NCAA Player of the Year Award. Currently, Jennifer is doing her master's degree in mechanical engineering at University of Massachusetts Lowell. Watch for Jen on second base during Team Canada Games!

Comme athlète locale de North Delta, Jennifer a fait compétition au tournoi dans la division Futures en 2004. Même avant que Jennifer était éligible à participer, elle se rappelle d’avoir venu au tournoi avec son équipe pour surveiller cet événement inspirant – et comment motivant qu’il était. Jennifer est non seulement l’une des meilleures joueuses de softball au pays, mais aussi une étudiante impressionnante. Jennifer a obtenu son diplôme de premier cycle universitaire en science des matériaux et génie à Georgia Tech. Durant son séjour à Georgia Tech, Jennifer a été nommée une finaliste parmi les trois dernières pour le prix de joueuse de l’année de la NCAA en 2010.
