CEBL moves to single-game championship in Winnipeg after Game 1 cancelled
The Winnipeg Sea Bears and Brampton Honey Badgers opened Game 1 at Brampton's CAA Centre on Wednesday, but play was suspended early in the first quarter.
The Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) has opted to shift its championship format from a three-game series to a single-game showdown in Winnipeg, following the cancellation of Game 1. The first game was called off due to unsafe playing conditions at Brampton’s CAA Centre, with condensation on the court making it unsafe for competition.
After consulting with both teams, game officials, and venue staff, the league decided to cancel the match and revert to the single-game format used from 2019 to 2025. Saturday's championship game will tip off just after 2:30 p.m. at Winnipeg's venue, with 680 CJOB providing broadcast coverage.
