PRESS RELEASE

Re: Jason Chatwood

Aug 5, 2025

The Sylvan Lake Gulls would like to announce a change to the role Jason Chatwood will be playing in our Organization.  Jason has been our first ever Head Coach since March of 2020 and has been the leader of our on field team since our inaugural season in 2021.  We added the title of General Manager in 2022, and he has managed our Baseball Operations, including recruiting players since then. 

Jason is the main reason that the Gulls have been competitive right from that first season.  Under Coach Chatwood’s leadership, the Gulls have won 178 regular season games, and also another 7 playoff victories. We appreciate everything he has done in the early years of our franchise, not only winning baseball games on the field, but helping build our culture, representing us in our community, and developing the young men that come through Sylvan Lake the last 5 years.  

Jason will be stepping down from the position of Head Coach, at the conclusion of this season.  He will however, remain with the organization as General Manager of Baseball Operations, in charge of recruiting and staying on as an associate coach. 

The Gulls Organization would like to thank his wife, Heather, and both boys, for allowing Jason the vast amount of time away from the family, and to be committed to this organization as Head Coach.  We completely respect Jason’s decision to spend more time with his family, it only proves the type of character individual that he is.

We are grateful for the opportunity to keep Jason in our Organization for the foreseeable future.

A new Head Coach will be announced shortly after the season.

Your truly,

Aqil Samuel

President and COO

Sylvan Lake Gulls
