SHELDON CASSIMY RESIGNS AS HONEY BADGERS HEAD COACH

By Elias Eldridge • September 30, 2025
The Brampton Honey Badgers of the Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) announced Tuesday that Sheldon Cassimy has resigned as head coach after two seasons, and six total seasons with the team. Cassimy has played an integral part in the evolution and growth of the Honey Badgers organization since joining the coaching staff in 2020. During his tenure, the Honey Badgers have made a postseason appearance four times (‘20-’23), including a championship in 2022 after a 90-88 victory over the Scarborough Shooting Stars where Cassimy served as lead assistant coach. “We would like to express our deepest gratitude for everything Sheldon has contributed since joining the team in 2020,” said General Manager and Vice President of Basketball Operations Jermaine Anderson. “Sheldon has had a meaningful impact on the development of every player to wear a Honey Badger uniform during his time. His ability to connect with players and adapt to the evolving demands of both the league and our organization has been truly special. I look forward to following his continued growth in the coaching profession and wish him nothing but success in the future.” Cassimy’s professional head coaching debut came in 2022 when he unexpectedly took Head Coach Ryan Schmidt’s place versus the Guelph Nighthawks (now Calgary Surge). As interim head coach, Cassimy led the Honey Badgers to a 95-76 victory, his first career win. Since then, Cassimy was put in charge of the Brampton Honey Badgers at Basketball Champions League Americas (BCLA) in 2023 before serving as lead assistant coach again during the 2023 CEBL regular season behind Antoine Broxsie. In 2024, Cassimy was promoted to head coach where he held the role for two seasons. “I want to thank the Honey Badgers and CEBL for providing an opportunity for Canadian coaches and players to develop,” said Cassimy. “I joined the team in 2020 and these six years have been invaluable. The Honey Badgers will always hold a special place in my heart. I want to thank Jermaine [Anderson] for bringing me on and being nothing but supportive through this journey. I hope the very best for the team going forward.” Cassimy’s resignation comes as he looks to turn his focus over to his role as lead assistant coach with the McMaster University Marauders men’s basketball program. Their home opener takes place on October 24 at Burridge Gymnasium in Hamilton. With the 2025 season at a close, Honey Badgers fans can look forward to what will be an exciting offseason.

HONEY BADGERS PARTNER WITH MATH THRU MUSIC FOR NEW AND INNOVATIVE YOUTH EDUCATION PROGRAM

By Elias Eldridge • September 19, 2025
The Brampton Honey Badgers of the Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) announced Friday that they have partnered with Math Thru Music to bring forward a new program that uses basketball as a means to educate students on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) skills. The 4th Quarter Series is a program that will utilize basketball-based scenarios in order to teach students in grade 6-9 STEM skills, including reliable and valid experimentation, collecting and analyzing data, and understanding the intersection between theory and practice in math and science. Ultimately, this program will give students a better understanding of probability and theory application, having them leave the program seeing the importance of critical thinking in sports. “We’re all about experiential learning and we can’t wait for students to try the ‘10 out of STEM challenge,” said Math Thru Music Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer Joseph Khargie. “10 out of STEM is teacher friendly and will take place over the course of the 2025-26 school year.” Schools in and around Brampton will have the opportunity to participate, with 10 out of STEM winners receiving recognition during a halftime ceremony at a 2026 Honey Badgers game. “We love Math Thru Music’s innovative style of education,” said Honey Badgers President Josie Pingitore. “This partnership will give us an exciting way to use basketball to promote the importance of learning and we are thrilled to use our platform to get involved in this capacity.” Math Thru Music is an organization that uses engaging programs to stimulate learning. While they have typically put an emphasis on the application of music as a catalyst for education, through this partnership they will switch gears into sport instead. With the 2025 season at a close, Honey Badgers fans can look forward to what should be an exciting offseason full of surprises and exciting announcements.
