HONEY BADGERS BREAKING NEWS

HONEY BADGERS WELCOME AUS MVP AND OUA RISING STAR ON CEBL SIGNING DAY

The Brampton Honey Badgers of the Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) announced Wednesday that DJ Jackson of St. Francis Xavier University and Bronson Chambers of the University of Windsor have signed as developmental players as part of CEBL Signing Day.

This is the first year of CEBL Signing Day which has replaced the CEBL Draft. The primary distinction is rather than a typical draft, eligible U SPORT & CCAA players enter a pool where each CEBL team will sign two players to developmental contracts, with potential for more as the season approaches. This allows the opportunity for Canadian talent to get a chance at the professional level while maintaining their college eligibility.

By Elias Eldridge • April 10, 2026

The Brampton Honey Badgers of the Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) announced Friday that Sandman Hotel Group has agreed to continue their partnership ahead of the 2026 season. “We are very excited to continue our partnership with the Brampton Honey Badgers,” said Sandman Regional Manager of Sales Roseanne Dalisay. “With this partnership going back to their days in Hamilton, it is exciting to see all the positive change this team has gone through. Sandman Hotel Group believes in supporting and investing in local organizations, and we are proud to be alongside this organization as they head into a new era this season.” Along with assisting in housing Honey Badgers players and staff during training camp, Sandman will also be making a donation to underprivileged youth in local communities to allow them to enjoy live professional basketball. We’re incredibly grateful for Sandman Hotel Group’s continued support of the Honey Badgers as we enter our fifth consecutive season together,” said Honey Badgers CEO Al Whitley. “They’ve become a vital part of our organization - not only through their investment in our team, but through their commitment to our Ball 4 All program, which gives underprivileged youth the opportunity to experience professional basketball. That impact means a great deal to us.” The Brampton Honey Badgers will begin their season with two home games on Friday, May 15 and Sunday, May 17 versus the Ottawa BlackJacks and Calgary Surge, respectively.
