Word in the Twitterverse is that Calgary is getting a pro basketball team.

The league did not respond to CTV News' request for comment, but season ticket sales were cut off Tuesday on the Guelph Nighthawks website.Prior to that event, CEBL President and C.E.O. Mike Morreale told CTV that hosting the Stingers would be a test drive of sorts to gauge WinSport as a potential CEBL venue.

"This venue is certainly more than suitable. We have to add a few bells and whistles to make it really basketball-friendly," Morreale said. "The support is here from tourism, the support is here from the venue itself and I think it will be a pretty big catalyst into whether we see a team here in the future."

On Sunday, the Hamilton Honey Badgers won a narrow victory over the Scarborough Shooting Stars to claim the 2022 CEBL title.
