The team has four main sponsors this season: Champion Sports Wear, Ernst and Young, Williamson Chev Olds, and Clearnet. Wayne Venning will rejoin the club this season as a coach, along with son Craig. Brad Bricknell, who throws for the Mississauga Slams, will work with the pitching staff, and Chris Popovitch with the hitters. Bob VanderSlagt will again handle the managerial side for the team. Redman is delighted to have Wayne Venning back on the diamond with him again. They have been through many fastball wars together at all age levels, and Redman says Venning "brings so much valuable experience to this club." It's shaping up to be an exciting season of fastball for the Port Perry Juniors. The team has set some well defined goals, with the major one of being at the Canadian championships in Oshawa this August. "I think we'll put on a good show this season," Redman said.
