The wait is nearly over!

The Canadian Elite Basketball League’s second season starts Saturday with a different format from Year 1, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The seven C-E-B-L teams are playing a “Summer Series” in St. Catharines, Ontario…a round-robin plus playoffs. All seven teams are staying in the same hotel and training at the same Y-M-C-A with all 26 games at the same fan-less arena, the Meridian Centre, in St. Catharines.
