The 2017 Vancouver Canadians got to relive the joy of winning the Northwest League championship all over again this spring. The players were presented with their championship rings late last month in Dunedin as part of a ring ceremony that also honoured the Florida State League co-champion Dunedin Blue Jays. Six members of the 2017 C’s did see some time in Dunedin in righthanders William Ouellette, Bobby Eveld and Jared Carkuff, infielders Deiferson Barreto and Kevin Vicuna and catcher Owen Spiwak.

A number of players took to social media to show off their championship bling.
