About the Author

Helen Edwards has been a baseball fan since the day her Dad, a rabid baseball fan, took her to her first baseball game at Royal Athletic Park when she was about three years old. While she might have been more interested then in what the vendors were selling, the idea of the game took hold, and she has been hooked ever since. Since girls weren’t supposed to play baseball in those days, she played pickup games in a local parking lot with her friends and had hours of unsupervised fun.

She was born and raised in Victoria and has never lived anywhere else, giving her a personal perspective on its history. She has written two books on her father-in-law, who served in the Royal Canadian Navy for 38 years, and a series entitled The Heritage Detective, which tells stories about buildings in Victoria and the people who lived and worked in them. The second edition of her book on early hockey in Victoria was launched on live Canadian TV during Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canada in January 2024.

Helen has been writing since elementary school, when she penned plays for her classmates to perform. She loves the “thrill of the chase” of research and writing stories. Writing this book has been a labour of love, as it combines her passion for history with her love of writing. She is thrilled to share the stories of a very successful college baseball franchise with the world.

Helen is an active supporter of Canuck Place Children’s Hospice, and all profits from book sales will be donated to this worthwhile charity.
