The North York Blues 12UAA will have a new look in 2027 - and a much a faster one!


The North York Blues 12U AA will have a new look in 2027 — and a much faster one.


With the club moving its home games to the larger Diamond 4, the Blues have shaped the roster with speed and power in mind. The idea is simple: use the extra space, put pressure on opposing defences and build a team capable of creating runs in more than one way.


So far, the early returns have been encouraging.


North York opened the fall with an exhibition win over East York, last year’s first-place team.


The Blues followed that up with a strong showing at the Toronto Playgrounds Fall Tournament, advancing all the way to the semifinals before falling to Toronto Playgrounds AA, who went on to capture the tournament championship.


There is still plenty of work ahead. Fortunately, the team will have a new home for that development at the NYBA Indoor Performance Centre, where players can spend the offseason building strength, refining skills and developing the speed-focused style the coaching staff hopes to bring to Diamond 4 next spring.


After a promising fall season, the 12U AA 2027 Blues have something to build on.

The North York Blues 11U AA team had yet to practice outside, but they found their groove quickly with two strong games against rival Leaside the first weekend in May. On Friday, the Blues opened their season with a dramatic 10–9 walk-off win. With two outs and a full count in the bottom of the sixth, Jason Liang delivered the game-winning single. The runners were moving on the pitch, helping the Blues beat the throw home and seal the victory. Jonah Silver led the way offensively, going 3-for-3 at the plate, while also allowing just two runs over two innings on the mound. Sunday’s game was a very different affair. Jason Liang took the mound and delivered one of the most dominant performances in recent memory. His final line: 5 innings, no hits, no walks, and faced only one batter over the minimum in a near-perfect game that was broken up on the final out. Jason threw an efficient 62 pitches, 42 of them for strikes. The Blues backed him up with 12 runs, led offensively by Andrew Loyola who went 3 for 3, completing an impressive opening weekend. Congratulations to the 11UAA Blues with this spectacular Walk-Off and No-hitter start to the season! Hats off to the parents and coaches for their support!
