If the league can survive the next couple of years, then I think the future can be bright for professional basketball in Canada! |
The Problem with Summerside is it didn't brand itself as an Island team. The original market was supposed to be Charlottetown BUT because Summerside has a nice and newer facility and it already owns a basketball court leftover from the '09 Canada Games, things were just easier in Summerside. There was a TON of people at the game here last night though!
