All-Canadian Roster to Represent Brampton Honey Badgers When They Welcome Opponents from Nicaragua, Mexico to the CAA Centre for Basketball Champions League Americas

The Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) announced the Brampton Honey Badgers roster Thursday ahead of the third window of the FIBA Basketball Champions League of Americas (BCLA) group stage action scheduled to begin Tuesday, February 7 at the CAA Centre in Brampton, Canada. The CEBL has put together an all-Canadian roster consisting of players from around the league to take on championship teams from Nicaragua and Mexico for two games next week.

The Honey Badgers are representing the CEBL by virtue of having won the 2022 CEBL Championship and enter this final window of competition searching for their first win in BCLA play. The BCLA brings together 12 teams representing seven countries from the Americas, competing over the course of four months to win a berth in the 2024 FIBA International Cup, one of professional basketball’s most prestigious international championship events.

The roster for the third window is comprised of 11 Canadians, of which 10 have previously played in the CEBL. Brampton natives Alex Campbell, Javhon Blair and Sean Miller-Moore, as well as Kitchener native Murphy Burnatowski, are back to play their third BCLA window this winter, along with Winnipeg native Chad Posthumus and Toronto natives Jaylen Babb-Harrision and Shane Osayande.

New additions to the roster include Montréal products Kemmy Osse and Alain Louis, who both featured on the Montréal Alliance roster during the 2022 CEBL season, and Daniel Walden-Mullings, who averaged a team-high 6.4 rebounds and 2.3 steals for the Niagara River Lions during the 2022 CEBL season. Also included on the roster is Elijah Lufile who spent time with the Salt Lake City Stars of the NBA G earlier this season. He is the only member on this Brampton team that hasn’t previously played in the CEBL.

The full roster can be found here.

The BCLA is being hosted in Canada for a second straight year, with Brampton following Calgary, site of last year’s competition. Action begins Tuesday with the Honey Badgers taking on Real Estelí from Nicaragua. Real Estelí meets Libertadores of Mexico on Wednesday in a matchup that has major implications for seeding in the next round of the BCLAs as both clubs will advance while Brampton will not. The Honey Badgers final BCLA game comes next Thursday against Libertadores. All games begin at 8 p.m. ET. Fans are encouraged to take advantage of a 33% discount on game tickets as 3-game packs are now on sale for all three games. All tickets can be purchased via the link here.

All games featuring the Brampton Honey Badgers will be livestreamed on CEBL’s OTT platform CEBL+ and will be nationally televised on NBA TV Canada.

A league created by Canadians for Canadians with a mission to develop Canadian players, coaches, sports executives and referees, the CEBL boasts the highest percentage of Canadian players of any pro league in the country with 71 percent of its 2022 rosters being Canadian. Players bring experience from the NBA, NBA G League, top international pro leagues, the Canadian National team program, and top NCAA programs as well as U SPORTS. Nine players have moved from the CEBL into the NBA following a CEBL season, and 28 CEBL players attended NBA G League training camps during October. The CEBL season runs May through August.
