Arlen Peters, who is attending Johnson County Community College in Overland Park, Kansas, will play for Brandon’s Wheat City Whiskey Jacks of the Expedition Baseball League in the summer of 2021.

The Schanzenfeld product spent the past three seasons playing for the Manitoba Junior Baseball League’s Altona Bisons and was named a Winnipeg Goldeyes Field of Dreams Scholarship award winner this past August.

Peters, who is an infielder/pitcher, played for Team Manitoba at the 2019 Baseball Canada Cup in Regina and joined Pembina Hills at the 2019 18U AAA National Championship in London, Ontario.

The Expedition League is a collegiate summer baseball league in the Great Plains region of the United States and Canada.

The Whiskey Jacks are the only Canadian based team in the league. 

Wheat City's 2020 season was cancelled because of COVID-19 and the closure of the Manitoba - United States border.
