OUR HISTORY Founded originally in 1994 as the Victoria Rockets we merged with the Victoria Rebels in 1998 later changing the name in 2000 to the current Victoria Mariners The organization was originally founded to provide further baseball opportunities for the areas top level ballplayers looking to extend their season beyond the typical June 30 end to their Babe Ruth season The focus then was for each of the areas leagues to form a tournament team and compete for the right to compete in a Provincial Championship One team would proceed while the rest of the athletes would have no baseball during the summer This model clearly did not speak to development The Rockets formed teams to compete in various tournaments in the USA during June and July eventually joining in US leagues As this model proved successful in developing talent Rockets were eventually invited to join the BC Premier League as a second Victoria franchise alongside the Victoria Rebels with other teams in Duncan Nanaimo and Parksville After a year of operating the two separate teams it became evident that the area lacked the talent to feed two teams Rockets and Rebels merged into one organization The Rockets soon to be renamed Mariners and the BCPBL jointly decided to revert to only one Victoria BC Premier league team The Victoria Mariners It was felt our developmental goals for both players and coaches would be better achieved by expanding to operate two teams in the BC Minor Midget AAA League Concurrently Rockets had still been running teams in the 13 to 15 age group When a number of local BC Babe Ruth organizations recognized the need to expand development into a summer schedule and joined the BC Minor League Rockets merged their younger teams together with the governing body GVMBA We were finally progressing on one of our goals to bring the local baseball community closer together in building the best development program in BC More recently when the BCPBL decided to expand to build a Junior developmental league we decided to drop one of our BC Minor Midget AAA teams in favor of running a BCJPBL team believing that a more age appropriate structure would work better for both remaining teams
OUR FUTURE The Mariners organization has evolved over the years winning a Provincial Championships in both leagues Premier and Junior Premier The Mariners have also hosted Premier Championship Tournaments and look forward to hosting more in the future The Mariners graduate more and more players to both the MLB ranks and US Canadian Colleges each year We have also seen former players return to develop and contribute as coaches If anything is true in the local baseball scene it is that change is most certainly a constant Backed by its core principles around player and coach development whatever changes come our way Victoria Mariners will do its best to adapt while respecting those principles

THE ZACK DOWNEY STORY Zack Downey Our 6 Forever On May 25 2014 the Victoria Mariners said farewell to one of their own Zack Downey was a Mariner a friend a son a brother and a gifted athlete In October of 2012 Zack was diagnosed with Non Hodgkins Lymphoma For the better part of eighteen months this brave young man fought with everything he had to beat his deadly diagnosis and return to a life of family friends school and baseball The entire Mariner family and Victoria baseball community rallied behind Zack and his family to join in their fight Sadly Zack s battle ended on May 25 2014 We remember Zack and his competitive spirit everyday Zack embodied all of the qualities of an exemplary teammate and friend enthusiastic diligent selfless kind and loyal The Zack Downey Memorial Tournament which began in September 2014 is an opportunity for the Victoria Mariners to memorialize and honour their comrade In the true spirit of sportsmanship and competition teams are invited to share in this special event and remember a young man who played baseball the way he lived his life with integrity and heart Zack you are in our hearts and on the field always
Every year during the fall ball season the Mariners host the Zack Downey Memorial Tournament The 2018 event was kicked off with a game of Mariner alumni many of which played with Zack The game was a huge success and a lot of fun The Fall weather was fantastic and a great way to start off the tournament Unfortunately the weather would not hold out for the four day tourney and rain cut short the final game between the Victoria Eagles and the White Rock Tritons The two teams were crowned co winners
