This season marks the first under the Brampton Honey Badgers “new era”, which features a new cast of prominent leadership figures, including CEO Al Whitley who has 22 years of NBA experience with the Dallas Mavericks, working very closely with Mark Cuban. This new team also includes: President Saud Juman, who was the founder of Policy Medical and more recently won the 2025 CEBL Championship as an assistant coach with the Niagara River Lions; Assistant General Manager John Ross who spent 14 seasons with the Portland Trail Blazers in their scouting department; and Director of Revenue Generation Blake Duffy, who spent eight years working up the ranks of Ottawa Sports & Entertainment Group (OSEG). The Honey Badgers’s season will officially tip off with a two-game homestand beginning on Friday, May 15 at the CAA Centre versus the Ottawa BlackJacks at 7:30 PM ET, followed by a battle against the Calgary Surge on Sunday, May 17 at 4:00 PM ET. The month of May is an active one for the Black & Gold, playing through six of their 24 regular season games between May 15 - May 30, with five of those six taking place at the CAA Centre. After the home opening weekend, the Honey Badgers hit the road for a quick stop in the Nation’s Capital to face the BlackJacks, then return to Brampton for four straight at home. “Schedule release day is always one of the most exciting days of the offseason,” said Honey Badgers CEO Al Whitley. “This is only the first step of our schedule release, as our fans and the community can expect a strong and exciting slate of themes to be announced with all our games soon. 2026 is a NEW ERA in Honey Badgers history, and we are committed to bringing the very best product and entertainment to our fans and partners alike.” With more theme nights to be announced as the season approaches, the Honey Badgers have already locked in their fifth School Day game at the CAA Centre to take place on Thursday, May 28 at 11:00 AM ET, and their third annual City of Brampton Camp Day game taking place on Tuesday, July 14 at 11:00 AM ET.

JOHN ROSS JOINS BRAMPTON HONEY BADGERS AS ASSISTANT GENERAL MANAGER

By Elias Eldridge • December 9, 2025
The Brampton Honey Badgers of the Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) are excited to announce John Ross as assistant general manager. John has spent the better part of the past two decades working in basketball, highlighted by over 14 years with the Portland Trail Blazers and more recently as an assistant coach with the Western Conference Champion Calgary Surge in 2025. With Portland, John worked as a video coordinator with both the coaching and scouting staff. He played a pivotal role in the organization's 2009-2011 stretch of playoff appearances, and also their rebuild starting with the draft acquisitions of Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum. This backcourt duo was the catalyst for eight consecutive playoff appearances between 2014-2021, including a Western Conference Finals appearance in 2019. “Basketball is one of my deepest passions, and I am very grateful to be able to continue my career in this game with the Honey Badgers,” said Ross. “I could not be more excited to work alongside Al [Whitley] and Jermaine [Anderson] to help put together a team that will not only excel on the court, but also in the Peel and Brampton community.” Since moving on from the Trail Blazers in 2022, John has expanded his work experience to both coaching, and teaching. As an assistant coach with the Calgary Surge in 2025, he helped lift the Surge to their second finals appearance in franchise history, after posting a 17-7 record on the season. In terms of teaching, John founded an organization called GET IN THE GAME 101, an educational resource designed to assist young adults in answering the question “What do I do to get a job in the NBA?”. Here, John provides his insights into what it takes to move your career into the biggest stage that basketball has to offer. You can follow his substack here to read more. Beyond basketball, John is a humanitarian, serving at-risk children for over a decade in Zimbabwe and making multiple visits to Ukraine to support refugee relief. “John’s high-level experience, combined with his understanding of what it means to help others, fits with what we are looking for in our organization,” said Honey Badgers CEO Al Whitley. “We are excited to have John assist in leading our basketball operations staff going forward and are confident that he is going to help us in promoting selflessness and winning.” Season tickets for the 2026 Honey Badgers season are on sale now at honeybadgers.ca .
