From 1982 to 1990, the K-W Civitans Junior Women’s Softball Club was one of the most dominant junior women’s softball teams in Canada. During that stretch, the team won four National Championships including 1983 in Lloydminster, Saskatchewan; 1987 in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan; 1989 in Kitchener; and 1990 in Kamloops, British Columbia. The team also won a silver medal in 1982 in Kitchener and a bronze medal in 1988 in St. Catherines, Ontario.

In the four years the Civitans won National honours, they lost only one game. They went undefeated in Lloydminister, Moose Jaw and Kitchener, while losing only one game in Kamloops. Their overall won/lost record was an amazing 35 to 1.
