The Vancouver Canadians are a Minor League Baseball team based in Vancouver, British Columbia, that plays in the Northwest League (NWL). [2] The team was founded after the original Vancouver Canadians relocated to Sacramento, California, days after winning the Triple-A World Series in 1999, [3] and the Southern Oregon Timberjacks relocated to Vancouver, assuming the Canadians identity, for the 2000 Northwest League season. [4] The Canadians were affiliated with the Oakland Athletics from 2000 to 2010, but have been affiliated with the Toronto Blue Jays since 2011. [1] In conjunction with the 2021 restructuring of the minor leagues, the Canadians were upgraded from the Short-Season A class to the High-A class and were placed in the new High-A West (A+W) in 2021. [5] This league was renamed the Northwest League in 2022. [2]

  2. ↑ Before 2010, divisions were won by the team that got first in the division. From 2010 to 2019, division championships were decided in a best-of-three series between the division winners of each half of the league's split-season. [11] Divisions were eliminated in the league's 2021 restructuring.
  3. ↑ The NWL uses a split-season schedule wherein the division winners from each half qualify for the postseason championship playoffs. [12]
