Comments from an All-Star fan

February 4, 2007 - American Basketball Association (ABA) News Release


Newmarket, ON. (The following are comments from a fan who traveled all the way from Toronto to Halifax to attend the ABA All Star Weekend). "Just a quick note to thank the league and the people behind the Halifax Rainmen for a great all-star weekend. I thoroughly enjoyed Sunday's game and the previous evening's skills competition and felt it was well worth the trip from Toronto.

I am always impressed by the way the players interact with the fans, especially the kids.

I hope to take in another ABA All-Star Game in the not-too-distant future (as long as it's not in Hawaii!!). Also hope that the Mississauga franchise gets off the ground next year, so that there's be a team relatively close by (about 40 miles). In the meantime, I'll continue to catch the odd game in either Buffalo or Rochester.

Anyway, thanks again for a great weekend. Regards,

Bill Kay

Newmarket, Ontario
