The Brampton Honey Badgers of the Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) announced that they have signed former Saskatchewan Rattlers guard Ali Sow to a contract after three straight seasons overseas. Sow played in 15 games for the Rattlers in 2022 where he made his professional debut after a historic collegiate career at Laurier University. His time in Saskatchewan was highlighted by a target score game winner versus the Niagara River Lions on July 1 to clinch the victory 92-90. Most recently, Sow has been playing a key role for Zabok in Croatia where he is averaging 8.9 points and 17.7 minutes in 21 games. He shined recently in a 27-point outing on April 9 versus Sibenka where he shot 10-for-14 from the field and had four made free throws, five rebounds, and three assists. “Ali has improved each year since graduating from Laurier University,” said Honey Badgers General Manager and Vice President of Basketball Operations Jermaine Anderson. “He is a skilled guard who will be relied upon to help run our team. We’re definitely looking forward to having him in a Honey Badger uniform this season.” The 6-foot-1 guard has been an offensive juggernaut throughout his professional career, specifically during his time in Austria and Germany. During his time with Kapfenberg in Austria, he averaged 20.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.0 steals, and 30.3 minutes in 24 games. He put up double-figures in every game and recording 20+ points in 15 games for the Bulls. He closed the season dropping 21 points in three straight playoff games versus Klosterneuburg. “I’m thrilled to make a return to the CEBL this season,” said Sow. “Myself and the league have grown a lot since my first stint in 2022 and I look forward to coming to Brampton and experiencing it for a second time.” Overall, over his three years playing professionally across four different teams, Sow is averaging 15.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.2 steals, and 25.2 minutes in 85 career games. In Germany, Sow established himself as a professional with Koeln, putting up team-high’s in points (23.4 per game), minutes (32.8 per game), field goals made (211) and free throws made (129). He was named German Pro B Player of the Week in back-to-back weeks and dropped a professional career-high of 40 points versus Schwelm on November 19. At Laurier University, Sow made a big name for himself, etching his name into their history books in a variety of ways. He finished his collegiate career as one-time Laurier Athlete of the Year, two-time U Sports Athlete of the Week, four-time Ontario University Association (OUA) Player of the Week, and 14-time Laurier Athlete of the Week. He is a two-time Laurier Men’s Basketball MVP and two-time Laurier President’s Award winner, earning both in 2022 and 2019. The President’s Award is given to the male and female recognized and the university’s most outstanding athlete. Sow averaged a whopping 23.3 points per game as well as 4.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.5 steals, and 32.9 minutes in 86 games with the Golden Hawks. Upon his graduation from the Bachelor of Communications program, Sow completed his collegiate career ranking first in team history in points per game and as their second all-time leading scorer, totalling 1869 points.

HONEY BADGERS ADD LOCAL BIG MAN SANGHA FOR 2025 CAMPAIGN

By Elias Eldridge • April 29, 2025
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.
