Niagara Junior Power Baseball Club
The Niagara Junior Power is an FCA Huddle affiliated with the Niagara Power. The Niagara Power is an expansion team in the New York Collegiate Baseball League and is an affiliate of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
We believe that our faith comes first and last, that we are competitors now and forever, we do not trust in ourselves, our attitudes on and off the field are above reproach and our conduct beyond criticism, our bodies are a temple to be protected from within and without and we give our all - all of the time.
We do not give up, give in or give out. We are competitors by conviction and disciples of determination. It is our goal as a team to represent our community with character, integrity and excellence in baseball on and off the field.There is no greater game than the game of baseball and we, The Niagara Junior Power, look forward to representing the sport with all of the honor it is due.
Fellowship of Christian Athletes
The Fellowship of Christian Athletes is touching millions of lives... one heart at a time. Since 1954, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes has been challenging coaches and athletes on the professional, college, high school, junior high and youth levels to use the powerful medium of athletics to impact the world for Jesus Christ. FCA is the largest Christian sports organization in America. FCA focuses on serving local communities by equipping, empowering and encouraging people to make a difference for Christ.

go before them and give them victory..."

Sal Maglie Stadium
The Niagara Junior Power is honored to have the opportunity to play some home games
at Sal Maglie Stadium. The stadium was built in 1939, closed in 1995 and demolished in 1999 to be rebuilt into what it is today.
Baseball history in Niagara Falls is amazing and being in the stadium has caused many of us to reflect back to those years prior to the stadium being demolished.
Coach Al likes to tell the story about Johnny Bench hitting one out over the lights! We're
not sure if it's the same lights that we're attempting to hit one over, but we like to think
that they are the same lights and that we have angels in the outfield.
ENJOY SOME OF OUR FAVORITE BASEBALL QUOTES!

what you do. Attitude terms how well you do it. - Lou Holtz
"People ask me if I believe how quickly my career has taken off," says Pujols. "I just tell them that Jesus Christ is
my strength. God has blessed me, and I will continue to do my best for Him. That is more important than
anything I could ever do in baseball."
-Albert Pujols

"As a Competitor, your goal is to focus every minute - every second on Nothing else matters. With an undying, unwavering commitment, every athlete needs to seize the moment. Forget the past. Press on. Grip the future with reckless abandonment. Pursue the prize with passion. Dig deep into your soul and with all of the desire, discipline and dedication you can produce, run toward the prize. Your single goal is to glorify your God on and off the field of competition. It is time to GET FOCUSED on Jesus Christ."
- Les Steckel, President/CEO, FCA

As a player, I was responsible for holding up my end of protecting this national treasure."

Those 1,200 walks I got - nobody remembers them."
-Pee Wee Reese, Dodgers Shortstop, 1940-1958
