“The Fish appreciate the continued support from YourTV and are excited to have them broadcast each and every Jackfish home game,” Harrison said.  “This is a partnership that we truly value and so do the community and fans of Niagara. We cannot wait to hit the field this May for our home opener and are excited to provide our loyal and passionate fan base an opportunity to watch the Jackfish on YourTV throughout the season.”

Billet families needed

The Jackfish are looking for generous, qualified families and individuals to get involved and serve as host families for 2023.

Numerous lifetime relationships have been forged between IBL players and their host families over the years.

Graduations, weddings and holidays have all been shared by host family members and IBL players. Children of host families have been fortunate enough to receive baseball tutelage and view IBL players as role models not available to most youth. 

Benefits of Being a Jackfish Host Family:

•Each member of your immediate family will receive FREE season tickets.

•Host Family Lanyards.

•Host Family Appreciation Night at end of season.

•The player will be a positive role model for your children.

•You will be more involved with the community.

•$1,000 per player for room and board.
