Earlier today, Boissevain's Danika Nell was named to to the Canadian U18 Women’s National Team that will compete in the 2024 WBSC Americas Pan American Championship from March 30 – April 6 in Montería, Colombia. Danika started playing softball as a 6 year old for the Boissevain Mites team, her family’s hometown since moving there from South Africa in 1998. Over the years Westman fans have been able to follow her development with the Westman Magic u12 team and Magic u14 squad. The talented pitcher and left-handed batter also committed to Boston University for NCAA Division I softball. Truly a dream come true! Making 12 year old me proud and hopefully encouraging all the young players in Manitoba and across the country to dream big! ????????❤️ https://t.co/gI36Be4Z9A — Danika Nell (@danikanell2024) February 26, 2024

Team Tutkaluke consists of Nolan Tutkaluke, Tammy Tutkaluke, Kyle Armour and Jodi Armour. The team has played together on and off for about 15 years.
