Carillon Sultans off to hot start in MJBL and fundraising

The back-to-back Manitoba Junior Baseball League champions Carillon Sultans are back on the field, preparing for another memorable season.

The team is 5-0 to start the year. They earned the right to represent the province at nationals in Windsor, Ont. with their 2025 championship win. The team got a head start on fundraising last season, but are still looking for support.

They’re hosting a trivia night at St Adolphe Community Club June 5 to support their fundraising efforts. The cost is $240 per team.

Head coach Don Meilleur, who has taken over for Rick Penner this season, said the team was also planning on doing another raffle this season, with tickets to go on sale soon.

The Sultans home diamond at A.D. Penner Park even got an upgrade this season, with the city taking out some of the fencing inside both dugouts to make the field feel more contemporary. The MJBL and senior Sultans teams chipped in to help cover the costs.

Carillon will next be in action at A.D. Penner Park when they host St Boniface June 7 in a double-header with first pitch scheduled for 1 and 4 p.m.

Steinbach will be hosting the league’s showcase day this season, which will be June 20.
