For five decades, Ted Hoy’s name has been associated with excellence in fastball pitching. The Cardinal native is regarded as one of the finest pitchers ever to play in Eastern Ontario. From the late 1950s the the 1970s, Ted Hoy baffled opposing hitters with an amazing change-up, pinpoint control and superior intelligence as he helped establish the Cardinal Pats as one of the premier fastball teams in the province. A member of the Brockville Diggers, Ted Hoy led the team to the Ontario Juvenile A Championship in 1961 and the Junior A Championship in 1963.

Ted Hoy’s name is a household word to any fastball fan in Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec, and he is still pitching almost 40 years after he made his debut.
