Halifax ABA Team

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

On August 24 2006 it was announced Halifax would receive an American Basketball Association team.[1]

The team will start play in the 2007-2008 season. The venue has not been announced but it will likely be the Halifax Metro Centre as it is the largest available arena and hosts many other basketball events. The Halifax Forum is another likely venue, as it too has a capacity enough for a team. It also hosts other basketball games.

Andre Levingston will be the team's owner.

The City of Halifax, Nova Scotia will hold the 2006-2007 all-star game [2] 10 months before the team starts play. Joe Newman, the league's chairman, figured it would be an excellent way to promote the Canadian expansion. The game will be played at the 10,000 seat Halifax Metro Centre.

Recently a Name the Team contest was on but it has now ended and the announcement is expected soon [3].
