Ross MacIver joined the Flashback Senior Slo-Pitch organization as a player in 1992. In 1993 he, along with two other members, Ray Kuran and Morris Deveson, were asked to locate increased senior slo-pitch competition and participation. This small committee decided to create the first ever Senior Slo-Pitch Tournament held in Mahnomen, Minnesota, which still continues today. He was instrumental in developing the “Canadian Polar Bear Classic” which became the first ever World Qualifying Tournament held outside of the United States in 1995. MacIver continued to strive for recognition of Senior Slo-Pitch and was rewarded for his efforts as he hosted the Senior Softball USA sanctioned World Championships in Winnipeg in 2000 and 2003. As a player, coach and manager, he has successfully guided the Carefree Getaway Flashbacks 70+ to gold medals in the Manitoba Society of Seniors, Provincial and Western Canadian competitions as well as World Qualifiers.
