The Brampton Honey Badgers of the Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) announced Wednesday that the franchise’s all-time leader in blocks Prince Oduro has agreed to return to the club for a fourth straight season. Oduro began his professional career with the Honey Badgers in 2022 immediately following his senior season with the University of Detroit Mercy. In this season he helped the team achieve their first CEBL championship, and since then he has gone on to break and approach many Brampton records including a franchise-leading 54 blocks (4th all-time in CEBL). He is also currently sitting at number two all-time for the Honey Badgers in games played (50) and rebounds (291). “Prince’s energy, enthusiasm and desire to win is representative of our culture,” said Jermaine Anderson, general manager and vice president of basketball operations. “We are excited to have Prince back for another season, and we’re confident that he will be a positive role model on and off the court.” In the 2024 season, Oduro missed the teams’ first 10 games due to injury, however in the nine games that he did play he averaged personal-bests for the Honey Badgers across the board, including 9.3 points, 7.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 1.6 blocks. “It is an honour to play for the Honey Badgers every summer knowing that they gave me my first professional opportunity during a rough time in my basketball journey,” said Prince Oduro. “The only way that I can show my gratitude towards the organization is by suiting up every summer and giving it my all.” Oduro was a big piece of the Honey Badgers 2023 season as he started 10 of 20 games played and finished the season totalling a team-high in rebounds (133) and blocks (23). His season was highlighted by a 17-point, 12-rebound, and two-block performance in the team’s season debut vs. Ottawa. Oduro’s international resume outside of the CEBL spans over four different countries, including Hungary where he is currently playing, Italy, Germany, and Finland. His time in Finland with the Korihait Uusikaupunki, his first professional campaign overseas, began after his premier season with the Honey Badgers in 2022. In 32 contests, he averaged 12.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 25.0 minutes while registering seven double-doubles. In a four-year, 75-game collegiate career across the University of Detroit-Mercy, Mississippi State University, the University of South Florida, and Siena College, the Canadian forward averaged 5.1 points, 3.3 rebounds in 16.2 minutes. He attended First Love Christian Academy in ​​Washington, PA, becoming the first player in program history to sign with an NCAA Division I program when he committed to Siena College. Oduro is an accomplished writer off the basketball court, publishing a poetry novel in January 2022 titled “Havoc Files”, a deep introspective into his life experience. Oduro joins Koby McEwen as the first players signed to the Honey Badgers for the upcoming 2025 season. After finishing the 2024 campaign at 6-14, the team is looking to get themselves back on track. The Honey Badgers 2025 campaign is set to get underway May 18 in Montreal, followed by a quick stop in the nation's capital to take on the Ottawa BlackJacks on May 21.

The Brampton Honey Badgers of the Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) announced that former Honey Badger, CEBL Champion, and the franchise’s all-time assist-leader Koby McEwen has agreed to terms with the club for the 2025 campaign. After two seasons with the Honey Badgers in 2022 and 2023, McEwen took his talents to Vancouver last summer. Helping lead the Bandits to the CEBL Championship game, McEwen took home the league’s Canadian Player of the Year award, finishing the season averaging a career-high 17.9 points and shooting 42.3 percent from beyond the arc. “Koby’s decision to return home is a testament to the progress we're making as an organization," said Jermaine Anderson, General Manager and Vice President of Basketball Operations. "Not only does he embody everything we stand for, but he also played a pivotal role in leading our team to a championship in 2022 and has earned two prestigious CEBL awards. We’re extremely excited to welcome him back in a Honey Badger uniform this season." McEwen averaged 13.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.9 assists, and 28.6 minutes across two campaigns with the black and gold pinstripes. In addition to securing a championship ring in 2022 in his first professional season, he also took home the CEBL Sixth Man of the Year award. During his second season with the Honey Badgers, the team’s aspirations to go back-to-back fell short to Scarborough during the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals, however, McEwen put up a career-high 5.4 assists per game. “After a lot of consideration, Brampton is ultimately where my heart lies,” said McEwen. “I cannot wait to put the black and gold back on and try to get the team back to Championship weekend.” McEwen is coming off a short five-game stint with Jonava in Lithuania, during which he averaged 15.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.2 assists. His season was highlighted by a season-high 30 points and seven three-pointers on October 5 vs. Siauliai. Across his three-year professional career, McEwen has played in 109 games professionally in five different countries, averaging 13.8 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 3.1 assists. Prior to his time in Vancouver, McEwen teamed up with fellow CEBL guard Kadre Gray with Poland’s GTK Gliwice. There, he continued to show his skills as a scorer, averaging 14.1 points per game, third best on the team. McEwen played in seven games with the Raptors 905 of the NBA G League during the 2022-23 season, but not before putting together an impressive string of five seasons at the collegiate level. Between Weber State, Marquette, and Utah State, he was named All-Big Sky Conference First Team, All-Mountain West Conference Third Team, and 2016-17 Mountain West Conference Rookie of the Year. In his senior season, he led the Big Sky in free throws made (173) and finished third in points (599). McEwen is the first official signing for the Honey Badgers since the start of 2025 CEBL Free Agency on February 1. Sitting at 844 career CEBL points, McEwen is on pace to join the exclusive company and reach the 1000-point mark. He’ll also enter the season 131 points behind former teammate Zane Waterman (653) for top spot in all-time points scored in Honey Badgers history. The Honey Badgers 2025 campaign is set to get underway May 18 in Montreal, followed by a quick stop in the nation's capital to take on the Ottawa BlackJacks on May 21.

The 2024 Brampton Honey Badgers season had its ups and downs, but a constant highlight was the game-to-game impact from a young core making their mark in the early stages of their respective professional careers - Yaw Obeng-Mensah, Callum Baker, Cole Syllas, and Lincoln Rosebush. Transitioning to the CEBL offseason, these four Canadians are participating in their first international campaigns and have been making a serious impact. Obeng-Mensah was one of the team’s biggest surprises of the 2024 season. The 6-foot-7 forward from Niagara University played in 19-of-20 games for the Honey Badgers displaying constant heart, hustle and quality defensive versatility. He capped off his summer with career-highs across the board against Ottawa on July 29 with 25 points on 10-for-18 shooting to go along with 13 rebounds and two blocks in 37 minutes of action. Now in 13 games with Independ de Olivia in Argentina, Obeng-Mensah has been applying those same qualities in 12.0 minutes per game, including a season-best performance 12 points and six rebounds off the bench November 11 versus Obera. Coming off an elite season with the University of Toronto in 2024, Baker was looking to prove himself at the professional level entering his second stint with the Honey Badgers. He was a respectable floor spacer off the bench, averaging 2.9 points, 1.1 assists, and 15.7 minutes. So far this season in Germany with Bayreuth, Baker has stepped up as a scorer, putting up 10 games with eight or more points including a season-high of 16 points along with four assists September 28 vs. Artland. Baker is currently averaging 7.7 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 27.4 minutes in 19 contests. He has also improved his two-point field goal percentage by 12 percent, which is a great sign for his growth as an all-around scorer. Syllas made his Honey Badgers debut last season in his second go-around in the CEBL after his first professional action with Ottawa in 2023. Before having to miss the majority of the season due to a lower-body injury, Syllas logged 3.9 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 17.7 minutes per game in eight contests. In the second game of the season, Syllas faced his former squad and tallied 13 points including a 3-for-4 game from the three-point arc May 26. Now playing in Greece alongside former Honey Badger teammate Petros Melissaratos, Syllas has played a consistent bench role for Mykonou, with season-highs of eight points (3-for-3 shooting) and five rebounds coming against Proteas on October 16. Syllas was a mid-season addition to Megaridas’ lineup in early January, appearing in two games thus far and averaging 8.0 points and 10.0 rebounds. Lincoln Rosebush made his name as an all-around forward in his first professional campaign with the Honey Badgers, totalling season-highs of 10 points, six rebounds, and five assists in limited minutes throughout the 2024 season. Currently with Sangalhos in Portugal, Rosebush has blossomed, putting up 11.5 points and 5.8 rebounds per game. His season to date has been highlighted by a 24-point career-high vs. Maia Basket on November 1 and his first career double-double performance with 18 points and 11 boards vs. Sampaense on October 26. As these four players approach playoff time with their clubs, keep an eye out for them to be a contributing factor to their squads as they compete for their respective championships. The Honey Badgers 2025 campaign is set to get underway May 18 in Montreal, followed by a quick stop in the nation's capital to take on the Ottawa BlackJacks on May 21. Brampton then returns to the CAA Centre to welcome the Scarborough Shooting Stars to start the club’s third season in the city.

The Brampton Honey Badgers of the Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) announced Wednesday that Jermaine Anderson will once again lead the club as general manager and vice president of basketball operations, returning for a sixth season with the organization. Since being appointed general manager in December 2019, the Honey Badgers have accumulated a 43-43 (.500) overall record, featuring four consecutive CEBL Playoff appearances (2020-23), two CEBL Championship Weekend appearances (2020, 2022), and a CEBL Championship in 2022. “Despite experiencing some turnover over the past two years, our organization’s core values remain steadfast,” said Anderson. “We take immense pride in delivering a comprehensive and holistic player development experience. We are confident that we are well-positioned to foster a culture that empowers our players to excel both on and off the court.” During Anderson’s tenure, 10 players have elevated their careers to the NBA G League with four players signing contracts with NBA clubs, including Javonte Cooke (Oklahoma City Thunder), Lindell Wigginton (Milwaukee Bucks), Christian Vital (Toronto Raptors), and Nino Johnson (Utah Jazz). Since 2020, 75 of the 96 players who have worn the black and gold pinstripes have played professionally around the world in the fall following the season, excluding six players who returned to their respective university basketball programs. “Jermaine (Anderson) shares our organization's vision of creating a great experience for all our players which allows them to reach their full potential into the next stages of their careers,” said Josie Pingitore, vice president of the Brampton Honey Badgers. “He has built both a competitive and positive culture amongst our players, coaches, and staff, making our organization a desirable one to play for.” After joining the Honey Badgers organization more than five years ago, Anderson spent the CEBL off-season as a player development coach with the Shanghai Sharks of the Chinese Basketball Association from 2019-22.
