"A Leaside tradition since 1968"
June 15th - The Leaside Leafs will be opening their 2023 elimination campaign against the Milton Red Sox. The Leafs last played the Red Sox in the second round of the 2022 eliminations. The Leafs came out on top in that contest.
Depending on the result of the first game the Leafs will either play one of their GTBL rivals, the Thornhill Reds or Kendal Eagles.
The elimination tournament is the Sr. AAA provincial championship that determines the teams that will represent Ontario at the Nationals. The tournament is scheduled for the August long weekend and can be followed at playoba.ca

The Leaside Leafs finished off their 2023 with a 3-2 loss to the Thornhill Reds in the GTBL championship game. The game was a tightly contested affair that went down to the wire. In their final at-bats the Leafs positioned themselves well with solid hits that put the winning and tying runs into scoring position but were unable to break through in the next three plate appearance.
Congratulations to the Thornhill Reds on winning the 2023 GTBL championship.
