The league announced the move Wednesday afternoon, adding that the team will play its home games at the WinSport Event Centre.
"Calgary has been one of our target markets for a long time and relocating a franchise from our smallest market to Canada’s third-largest city will allow the team to remain financially competitive as our league continues to experience tremendous growth," said Mike Morreale, CEBL commissioner and co-founder, in a statement. "Several potential ownership groups have expressed an interest in bringing a team to Calgary, but none has been able to meet our criteria for ownership.
"The league will continue to own and operate this franchise as we do nine of our 10 teams until a qualified individual or group emerges."This isn't the league's first foray into the Calgary market. Three Basketball Champions League of the Americas qualifiers — including the CEBL's Edmonton Stingers as well as the Cangrejeros of Puerto Rick and Real Esteli of Nicaragua — were held at the WinSport Arena in March as the CEBL gauged local interest in the game.
