I just did a little looking on line. They are forming something new called the
Basketball Super League, which will be essentially a merger of the rump NBLC after league disbandment, and the US based
The Basketball League. Play will start this December.
The Canadian teams will be:
- Windsor Express
- London Knights
- Kitchener/Waterloo Titans
- Sudbury Five
- Quebec City Pioneers
- Newfoundland Rogues.
You can bet your wisdom teeth that this league would want to have at least a couple of Maritime teams (Moncton, Halifax) as part of the plan.
If, as you say, the commissioner of the new league was doing a Maritime tour, then, it appears obvious that something may be afoot.
The Basketball League has 49 US based franchises. If the remnants of the old NBLC could bring another 8-9 Canadian based teams to the party, then this could be a very serious league with some potential to stick around for some time
Thanks
lirette, this is very interesting news indeed!

And, oh by the way, the current president of The Basketball League is the former commissioner of the NBLC. Hmmmmmmm
