Congratulations to the City of Moncton Events Team and On Ice Entertainment Ltd. in landing the first ever Atlantic Slam Basketball Tournament featuring four top college teams from the United States . The tournament will run from Nov 16-19 and will feature four top teams from NCAA Division 1 , who are members of the Big South Conference.

This is a pre-season warm-up tournament for the NCAA teams, and will be the first time that such a tournament will ever have been held in Canada. NBA scouts will be in attendance. There is a good chance that one of the participating teams could be March Madness bound.
Moncton's growing reputation as a host city for major sporting events in part led to this announcement.
Ticket sales will commence in September.
