Yorkton's Greschuk inducted in Baseball Saskatchewan Hall of Fame



Alexander “Al” Greschuk began his career in baseball at the age of 12 
catching for the Hubbard Hurricanes. 

From there he excelled at many levels throughout his baseball career. 

In 1963, at 20 years of age, playing for the Prince Albert Junior Lions, he pitched a one-hitter against Saskatoon Junior Acmes to win the Northern Saskatchewan Junior Playoffs, qualifying for the provincial playoffs.

A highlight for Greschuk was while playing for the Calgary Cascades of the Alberta Major Baseball League, when he struck out Lyle Moffat, playing for the White Sox. He also struck out Bill Fennessey, who had competed for Willie Mays’ position in the Major Baseball League. Greschuk also struck out another great baseball player of the time, Bobby Taylor.

Greschuk stated he could not further his baseball career because his arm was never the same after pitching 19 innings in one day when he was 16 years old. He then put his family life first.

Greschuk moved back to Yorkton from Calgary in 1975. In 2000, Al was instrumental in organizing a junior baseball team in Yorkton. As well, he organized the Yorkton Cardinals of the Western Major Baseball League.

Greschuk played twilite baseball for 50 and over, with Spy Hill, when they played in the 1996 World Twilite Tournament in Phoenix, Ariz.

Greschuk volunteers for all sports in Yorkton, and has provided uniforms and jackets for the Junior team and the WMBL Cardinals for 12 years.

 The Delisle Chiefs of the Prairie Junior Hockey League (PJHL) are proud to announce that they will play host to the 2022 Prairie Junior Hockey League All-Star Game.


The game will take place on Saturday, January 8th at 7:30pm at the Delisle Centennial Arena.

 More details on the events of the day are forthcoming as the All Star Game event will feature more than just the game itself.


 Delisle Chiefs President Wes Noon is looking forward to welcoming the league’s best. “We couldn’t be more excited to be the organization hosting this event. To be able to host this game and event will showcase not only our league, but our players to the residents of Delisle as well as reaching people that don’t typically see how great our league is or the high quality of players and that we have.”


Delisle Chiefs Head Coach and G.M. Eric Ditto is excited about being able to showcase what the PJHL has to offer. “An event like this is another step to show the caliber of our top players. We think it’s another small step in recruiting more players, scouts, and fans to our league in the future.” Not only will it put the PJHL on display, Ditto feels that it’s also an opportunity to show how hard the Chiefs franchise is working behind the scenes to give the players an experience that is more than just about the game. “We feel that the Chiefs are more than just about the hockey. We take a lot of pride in the effort our players, staff and volunteers put into this organization on a daily basis and we look forward to putting on an overall event that everyone will enjoy. We hope the community of Delisle and the teams in the league will remember this event for years to come. ”


 For Noon and the Chiefs Organization it’s about more than just being an event host. “Our goal from the initial talk of hosting the All Star game is to create a game and atmosphere for our players to enjoy and have memories for a lifetime.”
