Last season the Canadians had a record of 75-57 and for the first time since 2021 they failed to make the playoffs. What was their downfall last season and what do they need to improve on next year to get back into the playoffs in 2026? Lets get into it!

2025 Season

The 2025 season was a difficult one for the Canadians. They started off the season very well with a 20-2 record, but as the season went on they began to struggle more and more. They set a franchise record in May and went on an 8 game losing streak. Additionally one thing they struggled with was losing games that were very close which can be the deciding factor of whether you qualify for the playoffs or not. Although there were some lows in the season, there were also some good points. They set a franchise record for most wins with 11 straight, just shortly after setting the record for most consecutive losses.

Roster Changes/ Prospects

Some players who were standouts for the Canadians were Fernando Perez, who is a Blue Jays prospect pitcher ranked in the top 10. Arjun Nimmala, who is the Blue Jays number 1 prospect who had unbelievable performances down the stretch for the Canadians. And number 2 Blue Jays prospect Trey Yesavage.

2026 Expectations

Next season the Canadians are hoping to bounce back to their usual form as a contending team in the North West league. Last season they ran into many problems that prevented them from truly finding their form to propel them forward. In the upcoming season they will hope that in closer games the team can find ways to pull out the victories when their backs are against the wall. And of course the 5 time Northwest league champions are hoping to get right back to being one of the contending teams to win a championship in the upcoming seasons.

How do you think the Vancouver Canadians will bounce back next year?
