The Brampton Honey Badgers of the Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) announced that they have signed another Brampton-native, and the first player of South Asian descent in team history in Jasman Sangha, who will suit up for his first professional season. Sangha is joining the team after six collegiate seasons in the NCAA and JUCO, where he most recently was a starter for the Canisius University Golden Griffins. He finished the season averaging 9.1 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.1 assists, and 24.4 minutes in 20 games. His season was highlighted by a career-high 26 points that included two made threes, six made free throws, and three steals versus the University of Maine on December 14. “We are excited to welcome Jasman back home to Brampton,” said Honey Badgers General Manager and Vice President of Basketball Operations Jermaine Anderson. “I feel he is going to be a fan favourite as a Brampton native and on the court his size and strength will be a valuable asset.” Prior to Sangha’s time in the NCAA where he also attended California State University Northridge and Texas A&M University Corpus Christi, he attended Garden City Community College in Kansas. This turned into a breakout season for the 6-foot-8, 225-pound big man. He ended the year posting 13.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 25.4 minutes. He had three double-doubles on the year including 22 points and 15 rebounds in his season debut with the Broncbusters vs. Cowley County Community College. “Beginning my professional career in my hometown is something I could not have dreamt up,” said Sangha. “For Canadians like me, the CEBL is an amazing way to kickstart a career and I look forward to showing off what Brampton basketball is all about.” The 6-foot-8, 225-pound big man is joining the Honey Badgers after averaging 7.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 17.4 minutes on 52 percent shooting from the field and 40 percent from behind the arc in 108 games throughout his collegiate career. He is a Southland Conference Tournament Champion after Texas A&M University Corpus Christi took down Northwestern State University in 2023. Sangha finished his high school career in Brampton at Louise Arbour Secondary School where he transitioned from to Pensacola State College to begin his postsecondary career. Sangha’s signing follows the Honey Badgers’ acquisition of Taryn Todd, a Arkansas State standout and All-Sun Belt First Team player. Sangha is the ninth Canadian under contract with the team and the third Brampton native, joining David Muenkat and the teams’ first round pick, Yohann Sam. The Honey Badgers 2025 campaign is set to get underway May 18 in Montreal, followed by a quick stop in the nation's capital to take on the Ottawa BlackJacks on May 21.

The Brampton Honey Badgers of the Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) announced that they have signed Taryn Todd, a dynamic scorer and two-way guard from Vaughan, Ontario, to a contract for the 2025 campaign. Todd will play his first professional season in Brampton this season, after a five-year playing career at the collegiate level in the United States. His final season at Arkansas State University was loaded with success. He finished the season leading the Red Wolves in scoring (14.7 points per game) and earned himself an All-Sun Belt Conference First Team nod. “I’m excited to come home and get my professional journey started in Brampton,” said Todd. “Their focus on winning and development are both things that I feel can help push me in the right direction. I’ve had a great time playing in the [United] States, but coming back to Canada is special for me.” He helped lift his team, who finished atop the conference with a 25-11 record, to a Sun Belt Tournament Finals where they ultimately fell to Troy University, leaving them just short of a NCAA Tournament appearance. Their season came to an end in the NIT Sweet 16 in a two-point loss to the University of North Texas. “Taryn is a spark plug who has the ability to score and accelerate the pace of the game,” said Honey Badgers General Manager and Vice President of Basketball Operations Jermaine Anderson. “We’re excited to welcome him back home and help develop his game, while providing an opportunity for Taryn to gain valuable pro experience.” Throughout his five-year collegiate career, Todd has averaged 9.6 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 23.8 minutes in 162 games across Arkansas State University, Northwest Florida State College, the University of New Mexico, and Texas Christian University. More recently, in his past two seasons with Arkansas State, Todd has led his team in scoring both years with 14.7 points and 12.8 points respectively. He set his career-high of 31 points in his second game with the Red Wolves on November 11, 2023 vs. Bowling Green. He has also grown into a strong and aggressive defender, averaging over a steal a game in this two-year stretch. He began his collegiate career at TCU where he was a red shirt freshman during the 2019-20 season, before playing 17.6 minutes per game and making five starts in the 2020-21 season. He shot a career-best 38.3 percent from beyond the arc during this season. Prior to his six total years in college, Todd was named the 13th-best player in Canada and earned a three-star rating by 247Sports. He was selected to play in the High School BioSteel All-Canadian Game in 2019. Todd’s signing follows the CEBL draft where the Honey Badgers selected a trio of U SPORTS standouts in Yohann Sam (University of Windsor), Conner Landell (University of New Brunswick), and Mike Demagus (McMaster University). Todd is the eighth Canadian under contract with the Honey Badgers for the upcoming season. The Honey Badgers 2025 campaign is set to get underway May 18 in Montreal, followed by a quick stop in the nation's capital to take on the Ottawa BlackJacks on May 21.
