In Episode 207 of Outside The Chute, we sit down with Saskatchewan native Justin Laskowski, one of Canada’s rising stars in men’s fastpitch softball.

Justin takes us through his journey — from getting his start in the Saskatchewan fastpitch scene, to wearing the red and white for Team Canada on the world stage. We dive deep into his experience at the 2022 Men’s World Cup, where Canada captured silver, and what it truly means to represent your country at the highest level.

He also reflects on being a kid in the stands during Canada’s unforgettable 2015 World Cup gold medal run on home soil, and how that moment helped shape his dream of one day pulling on the maple leaf himself.

 In this episode, we cover:

• Growing up playing fastpitch in Saskatchewan

• Developing through the Canadian system

• Wearing Team Canada on the international stage

• The 2022 Men’s World Cup silver medal run

• The impact of the iconic 2015 gold medal game
