List of Vancouver Canadians seasons

The Vancouver Canadians are a Minor League Baseball team that plays in Vancouver, British Columbia for the Northwest League.[2] The team was founded after the Southern Oregon Timberjacks relocated to Vancouver for the 2000 Northwest League baseball season.[3] The Canadians were affiliated with the Oakland Athletics from 2000 to 2010, but are now affiliated with the Toronto Blue Jays since 2011.[1] In conjunction with the 2021 restructuring of the minor leagues, the Canadians were placed in the new High-A West (A+W) in 2021,[4] but this league was renamed the Northwest League in 2022.[5]
The team has played 2,025 regular-season games and compiled a win–loss record of 1,037–988, resulting in a winning percentage of .512. The Canadians' best regular-season record occurred in 2005, 2012 and 2014 when they finished 46–30 (.605). Conversely, their worst record was 29–45 (.392), which they recorded in 2016. The Canadians have won five Northwest League championships (2011-13, 2017 and 2023).[a] They have also claimed seven division titles, including four consecutive division championships from 2011 to 2014, as well as a first-half title in 2023,[10] and two second-half titles.[11][12]
