Halifax Rainmen News Release


The Halifax Rainmen are pleased to announce the re-signing of 6'8 forward Eric Crookshank, and 6'7 wing guard, Desmond Ferguson.

Halifax Rainmen President & CEO, Andre Levingston is optimistic that the skill and experience of the veteran players will allow the franchise to reach the Premier Basketball League playoffs for the second year in a row.

"Both of these players earned the status of PBL All-Stars last season, and we're looking forward to having their continued leadership on and off the court," said Levingston.

Crookshank, who averages a double-double each game, will not only return as a fan favorite but also as the reigning PBL defensive player of the year. Ferguson, who shoots an average of 46 per cent from the three-point line, will return as one of the most dangerous outside shooters in the league.

While both players are eagerly awaiting the start of the 2011 basketball season, they are also excited to return to the city of Halifax. Crookshank, who was recently married, has settled his family in HRM and is extremely happy to call Nova Scotia his new home. Ferguson, who has played professionally all around and in the NBA, says there is no other city in the world where he would rather play the game of basketball.
