St. Catharines Blue Jays

St. Catharines Blue Jays

St. Catharines Blue Jays were a minor league baseball team that played at Community Park in St. Catharines, Ontario. They were the Short-Season A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays in the New York-Penn League. The team began play in 1986 as the Blue Jays, though were later renamed the St. Catharines Stompers. The team left St. Catharines after the 1999 season to become the Queens Kings in 2000.

On 4 July 2007, it was reported in the St. Catharines Standard that the Stompers were going to return in the summer of 2008. Former team owner, Terrence O'Malley was quoted as saying: "the Stompers are back...We'll be playing at Community Park beginning next summer."

The Blue Jays won the New York-Penn league title in 1986.
