“It’s an exciting time across the entire CEBL as we look forward to our sixth season of world-class basketball and first-class entertainment,” said Mike Morreale, Commissioner and Co-Founder of the CEBL. “Our first five seasons have proven that Canada’s domestic talent is among the best in the world, and the CEBL is a mainstay among pro sports leagues in North America.
