BRAMPTON – The first game of the Canadian Elite Basketball League’s championship series has been called off due to unsafe playing conditions.
The Winnipeg Sea Bears and Brampton Honey Badgers opened their best-of-three series at Brampton’s CAA Centre on Wednesday, but play was suspended early in the first period due to condensation on the court.
The league later released a statement saying the game had been cancelled because the playing surface was unsafe for competition.
The statement says the decision was made in consultation with both teams, game officials and venue staff, and that all tickets would be refunded.
No information was provided about whether the game would be rescheduled.
Game 2 of the series is set to be played Saturday in Winnipeg, while a possible Game 3 is scheduled for Sunday, also in Winnipeg.
