‘It’s been a little unorthodox’

Xavier Moon noticed something was wrong when Game 1 of the Canadian Elite Basketball League Finals was cancelled after only a couple of minutes. The Winnipeg Sea Bears star guard explained that the court at the CAA Centre felt slippery, making it unsafe for play. The game, which was scheduled as the first of a three-game series, was cancelled due to safety concerns and reconfigured as a single-game championship between the Sea Bears and Brampton Honey Badgers.

Players expressed frustration at not being able to fully prepare for the match, but head coach Mike Raimbault expressed satisfaction with the team's response to the situation.
