The Weyburn Beavers are pleased to announce the signing of Dan Grant as an Assistant Coach for the upcoming WMBL season.
Coach Grant is in his first year as an assistant coach at Vancouver Island Baseball Institute in Nanaimo, British Columbia, after a playing career that earned him the honors of being inducted into the Parkland College Athletic Hall of Fame in January of 2011. While at Parkland College he led the team to the 2002 NJCAA World Series Championship on his way to be named World Series MVP. He moved on to play at Division 1 University of Northern Iowa where he led the Panthers in rbi's, homeruns, on base percentage, and second in batting average in his senior year. In 2008 Coach Grant won the WMBL batting title and was named league MVP while playing for the Sherwood Park Dukes.

Coach Grant is looking forward to helping Head Coach Angelo Nicolosi put together a Beavers team that can contend for a league title in an increasingly competitive WMBL.

After 4 seasons with the Weyburn Beavers, 1 as the Assistant and 3 as Head Coach, Terry Smith has stepped down to take over the family business back home in Pocola, Oklahoma. On behalf of myself and the entire Beavers organization I would like to take this opportunity to thank Terry for his years of service to the Weyburn Beavers and the community of Weyburn; his dedication, hard work and friendly down home personality will be missed by all.

We wish you all the best in this new phase of your life.

Beavers' executive have gone through the process of listing the job vacancy and have been taking applications for the last month. We have completed the interview process and I would like to introduce Angelo Nicolosi as Head Coach of the Weyburn Beavers Baseball Club.

Coach Nicolosi is currently in his 4th year coaching at Tallahassee Community College, in Tallahassee, Florida. He has also been the Head Coach of a summer league team, the Rockville Express, in the Cal Ripken Summer Collegiate League the past 2 summers.

He has also an extensive background conducting youth baseball camps all across the USA and in Italy as well.

His playing career included 2 seasons as a Player Coach in a professional baseball league in Torino, Italy.

Coach Nicolosi will bring a tremendous amount of passion, enthusiasm and strong background of coaching college athletes to the Beavers and, in his own words, Coach Nicolosi said "I'm a team player in every sense of the word and given the opportunity to become part of Weyburn's Baseball tradition, I will represent the organization by maintaining a professional attitude and setting an example with respect.
