Craig Donaldson inducted into Softball BC Hall of Fame

Blair Setford • October 26, 2022

Craig Donaldson was an ISC Commissioner for nearly 20 years

We congratulate the family of Craig Donaldson, our former VP World Tournament, who was posthumously inducted into the Softball BC Hall of Fame recently. Craig will be inducted into the ISC Hall of Fame at the 2024 ISC World Tournament in Surrey, BC.


From the event: Craig Donaldson needs no introduction to the Men’s Softball program. His daughter Gillian Gillon spoke on behalf of the family showing us how much he was respected not only in Softball but as a dad and a family man. Craig kept the men’s game alive in the Vancouver area and around BC.


He was in the background but did whatever was necessary to run an event - rake a diamond, keep score or announce. He ran tournaments which brought in National teams tuning up for their World tournaments runs. Craig was an ISC Commissioner in the Northwest for nearly 20 years.

2026 ISC Canada East Qualifier in Mitchell

By Blair Setford • November 16, 2025
ISC Canada East is pleased to announce that our 2026 Qualifier will be coming back to Keterson Park in Mitchell, ON on the traditional Father’s Day weekend of June 19-21. Format will be the same as established in 2025, with a Premier Division featuring Hill United Chiefs, Bear Creek Express, NorthEast Drillers, Bear Creek Gremlins, JDT First Energy and Toronto Batmen – all of whom finished in the Elite 8 at last year’s ISC World Tournament. The ISC Division is expected to host 12 teams. Paid berths plus travel money will be payable to the winners of each division. We will also be hosting a 4-team Legends event. Entry fees will be finalized early in 2026. Softball Premier will be on hand once again to provide coverage of what undoubtedly will be one of the top events on the tournament circuit. We want to acknowledge the cooperation of both Bear Creek Sports & Entertainment and Hill United Chiefs in scheduling three top notch events in a tripleheader through June 2026 as we all build toward the 80th Annual ISC World Tournament at JDT First Energy Veterans Memorial Fields in Melbourne, ON in August. We strongly encourage teams to confirm their intent to enter the Qualifier as soon as possible as space will be limited. In addition, we recommend teams look to secure hotel rooms or rental property space early. For additional information, please reach out to Blair, Joe, Scott or AJ.
