The Southwestern Ontario Brewers are keeping their winning chemistry intact as they announce the re-signing of Kyle Hermetz and Ava Kalist to their roster for C4, the fourth season of the Canadian National Pickleball League (CNPL). Both Hermetz and Kalist were instrumental in the Brewers’ playoff push, showcasing consistency, grit, and a growing connection on the court that made them fan favourites and key contributors to the team’s success.

• Kyle Hermetz, known for his explosive power game and steady presence at the net, will anchor the team’s men’s lineup. His ability to dictate play and adapt under pressure has made him a cornerstone of the Brewers’ identity.
• Ava Kalist, one of the league’s rising stars, brings a mix of finesse, quick hands, and fearless shot-making that energizes both teammates and fans. Her return solidifies the Brewers’ women’s lineup will be competitive in the CNPL heading into C4.

“Our culture is built around commitment and team-first mentality,” said the Brewers’ front office. “Kyle and Ava exemplify that, they’ve bought into what it means to be a Brewer, and we’re thrilled to have them back for another run.”

With two core players officially re-signed, the Southwestern Ontario Brewers are setting their sights on another deep postseason push in what promises to be the most explosive CNPL season yet.
