Dodgeball PEI had success on the court and in the boardroom at the National Dodgeball Championship in Winnipeg last week.

The women's team won silver, and Dodgeball PEI is bringing the 2019 championship tournament to Charlottetown. The 4th annual event will bring hundreds of players to the city.

Dodgeball PEI president Matt Lawrence said Charlottetown has everything the national organization is looking for in a host city.

"What they look for is a really passionate community, a city that is open to dodgeball," said Lawrence.

Dates and venue for the tournament have not yet been announced, but it will be held early in the year.
