At that time, the three original teams in the league: the Cardinals, Caseys & Odeons played out of Optimist Park before it was decided they needed to do something about the need for more playing space. In true Calgary form, volunteers from the community stepped forward and offered to construct a major league size park on City land. The main sponsor and benefactor was Jim Wilfley, with able assistance from other sports enthusiasts such as Hank Bassen , Gem-Sod, Alberta Treasury Branch , Coca-Cola , Conmac and others. The park was built on traditional ball park lines with wooden fences, stands and a press box . The project was started in the Fall of 1982 and finished in August 1984 . The entire facility was built with donated labor and funding. The league opened for play, debt free, thanks to the dedicated generosity of its sponsors. The first president was Ron McCartney. Glen Hansen took over in 1982. Many people over the years have contributed their volunteer efforts to keep the league going. In 1991, the facility was partially destroyed by a fire set by vandals. The reconstruction work that followed changed the appearance of the park radically as all the wooden fences and structures were removed in favor of vandal-proof facilities. The present facility was reconstructed under the presidency of Ray Brisson with funds from the fire insurance and a generous grant from the Saddledome Foundation.Past Champions 2019: Calgary Wolfpack 2018: Calgary Diamondbacks 2017: Calgary Cardinals 2016: Calgary Diamondbacks 2015: Calgary Longhorns 2014: Calgary Wolfpack 2013: Calgary Longhorns 2012: Calgary Guns 2011: Calgary Wolfpack 2010: Calgary Gamecocks 2009: Calgary Gamecocks 2008: Calgary Longhorns 2007: Calgary Longhorns 2006: Calgary Longhorns 2005: Calgary Dust Devils 2004: Calgary Longhorns 2003: Calgary Cardinals
