Christmas Baseball Clinic 2007
As promised, the highly successful Knights' Christmas camp is on again this year and for all those who attended last year it was deemed to be a real success. Coach Adam Salter and Techncial Director Doug Frobel and their team of expert coaches are raring to go and it should be a great start to the 2007 ball program.

2006 Wrap-up and 2007 Winter Training Camp

On behalf of all the players and parents, I wish to extend a special thank you to all the volunteers who help to make the Knights such a special program.

U18

The Knights players and parents would like to express their great appreciation to Coach Art Salter and his fine assistant coaches Rick Frobel and Dave Dunn as 2006 was a fabulous year with six of their players heading off to US Colleges.

U16

2006 was the first year that the Knights ran a 16U program and what a job Coach Adam Salter did along with Assistant Coaches Klaus Hoppner and Randy Murdock. Congratulations!

Technical Director - Doug Frobel

Despite a trying year for the Frobel family, you could not have asked more from our resident Pro, "Doug Frobel". The Knights organization can't help but admire our special resource as no other team in the area can boast that it has a Technical Director of his calibre.

Head Pitching Instructor - Larry Belanger

Coach Belanger did a great job as our Head Pitching Instructor with special thanks to Dave Dunn as his assistant pitching coach. The enthusiasm and attendance of all of our pitchers (from both the U16 and U18) to his weekly training session speaks for itself.

Volunteers

Josette Kritsch

The Knights just can't thank Josette Kritsch enough as the creator and manager of the Knights' Web site as she did such a tremendous job as webmaster and she was also gracious in helping with other team mangement activities.

Ray Soffer

As our stats man, you couldn't ask for a better person. Ray did what you would call "a real professional job" along with the help of Kevin Read.

Winter Training Camp 2007

After an exciting and extremely successful 2006 spring, summer and fall baseball program, it is now time to gear up for next year and we are looking foward to another great season of baseball in 2007.

The Knights Baseball Club Executive is finalizing plans for the 2007 Winter Baseball Program. Details will be posted during the week of October 23rd, 2006.

Plan to register early as there is considerable interest for our Winter Training Program.

All the best

Mark Derouin
General Manager

Important Notice

The Ottawa Knights have decided because of the unusually nice weather that the final team selections will not be made until after Sunday, April 23, 2006. (for both teams).

This important decision was made to give everyone a better chance to show themselves, get extra practice time, in most cases get ready for Little League Try-outs and of course you all gain more experience in competing for a team.

Keep working hard and the Knights wish all players the best of luck.
