The 1994 Rempel Brothers won their own  tournament, July 10, beating Edmonton Merchants, 9-8, in the final on a ninth-inning home run by Rod Marquardt.

The provincial finals had been rained out. Regina Wheat City Motors won the first game, 1-0 and Rempel  Brothers were leading, 3-0, in the second game when the rain came. Both teams received berths into the national tournament.  Nationals were held Aug. 28 to Sept. 4 in Saskatoon, with 16 teams.

The Rempels lineup included Brad Underwood, Rob Scheller, Clint Pilon, Kevin Garinger, Rod Grose, pitchers; Jim Climenhaga, Ken Garinger, catchers; Rod Marquardt, first base; Terry Wallin, second base; Dale Dirks, third base; Ellis Clayton, shortstop; Gary Siemens, Jason Moline, Colin Abbott, Carey Dirks, Keith Lightbown, Haley Stamnes, outfielders; Pat Spizawka, Bill Marshall, Peter Clark, coaches; Bruce Rempel, general manager; Allan Page, Larry Besse, assistant managers.

This was the third Saskatoon team to win Canadian men's title.

In the playoffs, the Rempel Brothers beat B.C. Regents, 1-0;  beat Halifax Keiths, 7-0, in the A side final. Halifax earned a rematch with the Rempels in the Championship final by beating Toronto Gators on the B side. In the final the Rempels came out on top of a 4-0 decision, as Underwood pitched a four-hitter with 13 strikeouts. Terry Wallin singled home Colin Abbott, who had tripled, for a run in the third inning; Dale Dirks homered for a 2-0 lead in the fourth;  Underwood doubled in the fifth  and Carey Dirks scored on a fielder's choice; Jason Moline hit a solo home run in the sixth inning.
