The CEBLeague's Championship Weekend is the new league's best chance yet to showcase itself to Canadian basketball fans. (loung_s)

Much more to come!!Trying to be more than just a flash in the pan is an important priority for Morreale and he feels this Championship Weekend is an important step in in the CEBL’s march towards long-term viability.

“To me, it wasn’t a risk that was worth being taken, and in this case the chance to do what we’re doing here and to become a destination and all the eyeballs across the country had way more upside and legs for the long run.”In case it wasn’t clear in that list of teams, this is a league that extends from Ontario all the way out west to British Columbia, presenting inherent logistical and financial challenges for the league.

“Usually when we play on the West Coast they’ve done a good job of grouping those West Coast games together so that we’re not going to Fraser Valley and then going to play Guelph,” said River Lions point guard Trae Bell-Haynes. “We’ll go and play Fraser Valley and Edmonton on the same trip or something like that. So they’ve done a good job of organizing it in that sense.”

“I mean, the travel does take its toll on you but at the same time is part of being a pro and you’ve just gotta bring your A-game every time and take care of your body and just be prepared for anything.”
