The Langley Blaze is a youth baseball team located in the city of Langley, British Columbia.

The Langley Blaze was founded in 2001 by Doug Mathieson, a former right-handed pitcher who played in Major League Baseball's (MLB) minor leagues for seven years. The Blaze's home field is located in the McLeod Athletic Park which was completed in 2003. Before the completion, the Blaze played at City Park. They are part of the B.C. Premier Baseball League.[1] They are always a strong contender in the league.[2]

Doug Mathieson continues to be the GM for the Langley Blaze and is also the Canada/Alaska Area Scout for the Arizona Diamondbacks. In the 2016 MLB Draft, Doug had four Canadians drafted by the Diamondbacks which set a record for the most number of Canadian players drafted by one club in MLB. Doug's son, Scott is also a RHP who played in MLB for the Philadelphia Phillies and currently plays for the Yomiuri Giants in the Japanese League.

Since 2001, thirty-four players from the Blaze have been drafted by MLB.
