Tragedy strikes the Vauxhall Academy
Posted: December 16, 2011 at 9:36 pm
Vauxhall, AB -
The Vauxhall Academy would like to express our deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Tanner Craswell (Jets alumni 2007-2008) of Charlottetown, PEI. The Jets family is grieving the loss our former alumni. Tanner just turned 22 years old and will be sadly and deeply missed by many.
Tanner was a stand out shortstop for the Jets (2007-2008) leading the team in many categories. Tanner, an infielder, participated in the Fall Instructional League and Extended Spring Training with the Junior National Team in 2007 and also represented PEI at the Baseball Canada Cup (2004, 2005, 2006).
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Craswell family, his former teammates, coaches, classmates, billets and so many he touched.

Schedule Update – Special Birthday wishes to a special Jet – Yukio!
Posted: October 13, 2011 at 3:16 am
Vauxhall, AB -
The VAB weekend schedule has changed slightly. The games on Saturday @ PBA have been changed from a DH to a single 9 inning contest starting at 2 pm. The Jets will then take on the Badlands Academy Sunday @ 1pm DH in Vauxhall.
The entire Jets organization, Vauxhall community members, VAB supporters and VHS staff were treated to a special event. #1 Jets supporter Yukio Kitagawa and his wife Barbara were in Vauxhall to celebrate his 75th birthday. Yukio treated the crowd to a special power lifting demonstration in the new weight room. Yukio is a former Canadian weightlifting champion and thrilled the large crowd with his passion, dedication and athletic ability in the weight room. Yukio was complemented by one of his first students dating back to 1960. Lorne put his true strength on display and truely impressed everyone in attendance. Yukio and his wife Barbara are true inspirations to our entire organization and we look forward to many more years as partners in developing our student-athletes on and off the field of play. In a special ceremony the weight room was officially named “Kitagawa Fitness Center!”
HAPPY BIRTHDAY YUKIO!!!
