The Challenger Game
In conjunction with the Canadian Little League Championships, Quebec District 2 will also be
holding a game for its Challenger Division, which is designed for special needs athletes, both young

By having the game on the same stage as the National Tournament, it is hoped that more special
needs players will be exposed to the game, and to give these athletes an opportunity to enjoy the
excitement of participating in an event at the Canadian Championships.
The Drummondville Team will meet the Suroit Stars. We would like everyone to come and cheer on
the inspirational players in this Challenge. Come join us and show your support!
