Canadian Basketball League


The Canadian Basketball League was a professional basketball minor league based around the Greater Toronto Area of Southern Ontario. The CBL was founded in July 2014 by former NBA coach Butch Carter.

History

The four founding member teams were Durham United, Hamilton United, Scarborough and Wellington. Teams play a 24-game regular season followed by league playoffs.
The CBL was to begin play for the 2015–16 season with four teams. That plan was put on hold when a home arena could not be secured for the Hamilton franchise.
CBL began their inaugural season in December 2016. Scarborough defeated Wellington 79-75 in the first-ever league game played at the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre on December 18, 2016.
The league lasted one season and ceased operations in March 2017.
