With the formation of the Memramcook Coca-Cola Rookies ladies softball team in 1978 there began a sport dynasty that quickly earned for itself a reputation for excellence and consistency. Year after year they won provincial titles.In 1984 they reached the highest level open to them when they became the first-ever New Brunswick team to win a national softball championship! Under the leadership of manager Éli Richard and coaches Thérèse Légèr and Michel Melanson, and with a cast of seventeen home-grown players, they won 44 of 56 games including a 9-0 gold medal victory over favoured Ontario. They placed four players on the tournament all-star team including MVP Charline Gautreau. In recognition of this achievement, Sport New Brunswick honoured them as Team-of-the-Year.
