Colleen Moffat

Born Colleen McCarthy in Trail in 1947, Colleen now resides in Delta.

Colleen excelled in the sport of women's softball as a pitcher.  She has pitched for BC's representative in four Canadian Women's Softball Championships and pitched for Team Canada in the 1972 World Championship.

She was a member of the 1973 Canadian Women's All-Star team and has played for seven BC Provincial championship teams, four National teams, and played in the first Canada Summer Games in 1969, where BC won a Bronze Medal, and followed up with a Gold Medal in the 1972 games.  In 1976, she played for the BC Doc's Blues of Vancouver, pitching a one-hitter in the final game to help her team win the Canadian Women's Softball Championship.  Colleen then continued her mastery on the mound competing in senior women's softball teams, winning provincial and national championships.

Since retiring from active play, Colleen has devoted her skills to coaching at both the senior and minor levels of women's softball.  For over twenty-five years, Colleen has dedicated her time, energy and talent as a player, coach and administrator to the development of women's softball in BC and in her hometown of Delta.  In 1999, she was inducted into the Delta Sports Hall of Fame for her contribution to coaching women's softball in her community.
