Canadian Baseball League - Ryan Harrison, Welland Jackfish

In this episode, I talk with Ryan Harrison, General Manager of the Welland Jackfish, to break down one of the biggest shifts in independent baseball: the transformation of the Intercounty Baseball League (IBL) into the new Canadian Baseball League (CBL).

Harrison shares what this historic rebrand means for the league’s future, how it impacts teams like the Jackfish, and why the move positions Canadian baseball for long-term growth and national recognition.

We dive into the motivation behind the league-wide name change, the expected benefits for players and fans, potential expansion opportunities, and how the Jackfish plan to thrive in this new era. Whether you follow the Jackfish, the IBL/CBL, or love independent baseball stories, this conversation offers valuable insight into the evolution of Canada’s premier summer league.
