"The Brampton team has done a tremendous job this season putting together a solid basketball squad. They are very well coached and will definitely be a tough opening round opponent. We are excited to get the playoffs going and think we are strong enough to compete for a championship. We are taking every round seriously and will not look past any opponent in this league. We have a major target on our back, but we look forward to the competition," said General Manager, Taylor Brown.
