Harry Langham – Builder and Coach

In 1964, Harry helped organized baseball become a reality in Tsawwassen and Ladner managing the first All-Star Team in 1965. The team, known as Bronco, won many zone, B.C. and western Canadian finals. Harry’s dedication became very evident when he personally purchased and paid for the uniforms and twenty pairs of white baseball cleats for the Oakland ‘A’ team.

In 1976, Langham helped reorganize the boundaries to include all of Delta for the Delta Dodgers, formerly known as the Bison League. This program has become known across Canada because of the many championships won. This provided players opportunities for university scholarships and the ability to play on local national teams.

Mr. Langham’s interest in sports was not confined to baseball. He also followed his passion in the sports of hockey and golf. Harry began Rae Hockey with players 21 years or older, from the coach ranks of baseball, football and hockey. It became so successful he had a waiting list to play. At the height of its popularity there were over 10 teams who won approximately 10 championships.
