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

By Elias Eldridge • April 8, 2026
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. DJ Jackson has boasted a high-level of success through his young career. This season with the Honey Badgers will be his second campaign in the CEBL, after being drafted sixth overall in the 2025 CEBL Draft by the Calgary Surge. The 6’3” guard appeared in 11 games with the Surge and recorded a season-high 15 points in a 26-minute outing versus Niagara in the final game of the regular season. Jackson is coming off a second-straight Atlantic University Sport (AUS) Player of the Year season with St. Francis Xavier, the first to go back-to-back since 2016 (Javon Masters, UNB). He led U SPORTS in scoring for consecutive seasons and set a St. Francis Xavier single-season scoring record in 2024-25 with 440 points. After recording 20+ points in 15 games in 2025-26, he secured the highest points per game average in program history with 23.5 over his two seasons with the X-Men. “We are excited to welcome DJ and Bronson to the Honey Badger family,” said Honey Badgers General Manager and Vice President of Basketball Operations Jermaine Anderson. “DJ has CEBL experience and brings toughness as a young player, and Bronson is a Brampton native who’s eager to learn and can potentially play both guard positions. We’re looking forward to developing both players on and off the court, and we feel that they will contribute to the success of our team.” Bronson Chambers is coming off his junior season with the University of Windsor where he led the Lancers in assists per game (2.4) and three-point percentage (.338), while also finishing third in points (12.0). He helped his team to a 12-10 record and a playoff appearance where they fell just short in the first round versus Guelph. The Brampton-native spent his sophomore season with Lake Region State College in Junior College (JUCO) in the United States where he ranked second on the team in scoring with 14.3 points per game. “We are thrilled to welcome DJ and Bronson to the Honey Badgers this summer,” said Honey Badgers Assistant General Manager John Ross. “While this will be a great opportunity for them to develop their skills, we believe they both bring key attributes that will help us towards our goal of winning a championship.” Jackson and Chambers will fill roster spots six and seven for the Honey Badgers, joining 2025 CEBL MVP Finalist and Defensive Player of the Year Sean East and Jameer Nelson Jr., respectively, CEBL All-Canadian Keon Ambrose-Hylton, and CEBL veterans Prince Oduro and Danilo Djuricic. 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.

In 2003, Maple Lodge Farms partnered with the Muslim community and began offering Halal certified products. “At Maple Lodge Farms, “Always Family First” is more than just a saying - it’s a deeply held principle that’s woven into our culture and defines who we’ve become,” said Sr. Brand Manager for Maple Lodge Farms, Shalik Amanulla. “We’re thrilled to continue our partnership with the Brampton Honey Badgers - an organization that shares our passion for fostering a strong, connected community right here in Brampton, and providing their fans with some of the best food Canada has to offer.” 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.
