The Canadian women's national softball team will play an exhibition game in Guelph next month. 

The team, which won the bronze medal at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, will play nine-games in Ontario and Saskatchewan as part of a celebration tour.

They'll begin at Exhibition Park in Guelph on June 16 at 7 p.m., when they welcome the national team from the Netherlands.

Guelph native Kaleigh Rafter was a member of the team, but has since retired and transitioned to the head coaching position.

The tour will also feature stops in Oshawa and Brampton to play the Dutch side, before making three stops in Saskatchewan for games against the Czech Republic.

Ticket information will be announced at a later date.
