The Brampton Honey Badgers of the Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) announced on Tuesday that they have agreed on a partnership with Maverick Insurance Brokers, Brampton’s Private Client Insurance Advisor. Maverick is proudly rooted in Brampton - built on trust, innovation, and community. Through this partnership, both organizations look to take on what is very important to them, and that is collaboration with local organizations. “This is a very special moment for our organization,” said Maverick Founder and President, Bram Bains. “The Honey Badgers have continued to display a genuine care and desire to establish themselves in the Brampton community, and we are very proud to work alongside them. As two relatively new organizations to the community, we are excited to grow together and make a difference in this city.” As the Honey Badgers first entered the Brampton community in 2023, and Maverick Insurance being founded in 2024, the two organizations are in prime position to develop together. The Honey Badgers prioritize working with local businesses and this partnership is a fantastic example of exactly that. "We strive to work alongside individuals and organizations like Bram and Maverick Insurance that are deeply invested in the Brampton community,” said Honey Badgers CEO, Al Whitley. “As someone who has only recently become part of this community, it’s important for me to learn from local business leaders and ensure the Honey Badgers are making a meaningful impact in the right ways. Partnerships like this allow us to learn directly from those who know Brampton best and help elevate everything we do.” The 2026 season has been nothing less than an uproar of excitement for the Honey Badgers so far, currently having the best start to a season in franchise history.
