A young man from Shawville, Cade Kuehl, will be representing Quebec at the U17 Boy’s Canadian Fastpitch Championship in Saint-Gervais, QC. from Aug. 6-11.
A recent graduate of Pontiac High School, Kuehl has played competitive ball since he was 12-years-old, and this will be his third Canadian Championship, having played at the U15 and U20 level. A member of Quebec’s U20 squad along with Hunter Beauregard of Campbell’s Bay, the pair will be heading to that age-group’s championship in Carp Ont. at the end of the month.
Kuehl has mainly played catcher since he started competing at a higher level and said he enjoys the strategic aspect of the position. As far as his future plans go, Kuehl hopes to one day wear a team Canada jersey, but also to stay involved with the Quebec provincial team’s program in some capacity.
