The Brampton Honey Badgers of the Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) announced Thursday their three selections in the 2025 CEBL Draft, Yohann Sam, second overall, Conner Landell 19th, and Mike Demagus 22nd overall. These prospects will all look to make their CEBL debut this season after a combined 267 collegiate games played in 12 combined seasons. The annual CEBL Draft enables players from U SPORTS and the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) to play multiple seasons in the CEBL while maintaining their playing eligibility. “We are excited about this group of skilled collegiate stars we picked up,” said Honey Badgers General Manager and Vice President of Basketball Operations, Jermaine Anderson. “We have a nice combination of youth with Sam (22) and Landell (21), and experience with Demagus (25). With their unique skillsets, each will have a chance to play their way into our rotation and set themselves up for success with their career’s going forward.” Sam, a Brampton-born, All-OUA Third Team, 6’4”, 220-pound guard from the University of Windsor is joining the Honey Badgers after completing his junior year with the Lancers. He is coming off his best season yet, leading his squad in points (17.6) and rebounds (6.4) per game, along with 1.7 assists, 1.3 steals, and 30.8 minutes in 20 games en route to an OUA playoff appearance. Sam scored in double-figures in all but three outings last season, including a career-high 32 points vs. the University of Toronto on November 13, 2024. Throughout his three years and 62 games at Windsor, Sam has posted 13.5 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 1.1 steals in 26.9 minutes. He will come into Honey Badgers training camp on a developmental player contract. “Sam’s combination of size at the guard position, and ability to score made him a no-brainer for us with our first round pick,” said Anderson. “He is young, hungry, and will have the opportunity to learn the pro game under Koby McEwen this summer.” With their second round pick, the Honey Badgers picked up Conner Landell, a 6’9”, 228-pound big man from Niagara Falls whose collegiate career has taken him all over. Most recently, he finished up his fourth year of college ball in Fredericton with the University of New Brunswick Reds, averaging 7.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, and a team-high 2.0 blocks in 19.2 minutes over 21 games. He also led his team in field goal percentage (.595) and offensive rebounds (53). He posted two of his best career games this season with a 15-point, 15-rebound, five-block outing February 14 vs. St. Francis Xavier, and 20 points and nine rebounds on 9-for-10 shooting February 7 vs. UPEI. Prior to his stint with the Reds, Landell played with Fort Hays State University (2023-24), Lamar Community College (2022-23), and Clarendon Community College (2021-22). In his four-year career, Landell has put up 5.4 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.0 blocks, and 13.8 minutes in 104 games. He will join Yohann Sam as one of the Honey Badgers development players coming into the 2025 season. “Efficiency and rim protection are the skills that caught our eye with Landell,” said Anderson. “He has continued to improve with every opportunity that has come his way throughout his collegiate career, and the hope is that he will continue this trend moving forward.” With their final selection of the CEBL draft, the Honey Badgers selected Mike Demagus out of McMaster University. The 6’4” guard was drafted by the Calgary Surge last season and will enter this season on a standard player contract looking to log his first professional minutes. The 25-year-old has played his entire five-year collegiate career with the Marauders, putting up 13.9 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.3 steals, and 26.0 minutes in 101 games with the team. In the 2023-24 season, Demagus earned All-OUA Third Team honours putting up a career-high 18.8 points and 6.1 rebounds. As a senior, Demagus is coming off 13.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.3 steals, and 27.9 minutes in 20 games. With the Marauders, Demagus has already been able to play under Honey Badgers Head Coach, Sheldon Cassimy. Cassimy is currently also serving as McMaster’s Lead Assistant. “Coach Cassimy speaks extremely highly of Mike’s leadership and willingness to compete,” said Anderson. “We expect Mike to fight for minutes from day one and hopefully set the tone among the other young guards on our roster.” These CEBL draftees fill spots five, six, and seven on the Honey Badgers roster, putting them halfway to the maximum number of 14 roster spots. Sam, Landell, and Demagus will join four fellow Canadians in Brampton with Canadian Player of the Year, Koby McEwen, Prince Oduro, David Muenkat, and Patrick Emilien. The Honey Badgers 2025 campaign is set to get underway May 18 in Montréal, 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 Toronto native and former Honey Badger Patrick Emilien has agreed to a deal with the club, rejoining the team after a previous stint in 2023. Emilien joined the Honey Badgers for their final four games of the 2023 season for his first action in the CEBL. This followed a ten-game stretch with the Casey Cavaliers of the Australia-NBL One League where he made his professional debut. “I’m looking forward to coming on board with the Honey Badgers and showing my home country what I can do,” said Emilien. “After my last stint with the team in 2023, I have been looking forward to the opportunity to run it back.” The forward’s return to the Honey Badgers comes with vast growth in his offensive game, especially from behind the arc. Since his last spell with the team, his three-point efficiency has jumped from .222 in his four games with Brampton to .397 this season on 3.7 attempts per game with Honka in Finland. “Patrick’s fundamental approach to the game, character and versatility exemplifies the brand of basketball we’re striving to achieve this season,” said Jermaine Anderson, general manager and vice president of basketball operations. “We are excited to add another skilled up and coming domestic player to the roster.” As a two-year professional, Emilien is averaging 13.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and 25.3 minutes in 69 games across Finland, Austria, Australia, and the CEBL with the Honey Badgers. This season with Honka, Emilien is averaging career-highs in three-point percentage (.397), assists (1.5) and steals (1.0), and ranks third on the team in points per game (13.9). He began his season in Finland with three straight 20+ point games and shooting 10-for-14 from three in that stretch. He also posted an impressive all-around 19-point, 11-rebound, six-assist, three-steal statline December 17 vs. Karhubasket. He impressed in his professional debut with Casey in Australia, posting his current career-high 34 points and six made three pointers in a three-point loss vs. Ballarat on May 27, 2023. Emilien’s collegiate career took him all across the Northeast United States, playing three seasons with Western Michigan University before transferring to St. Francis College in Brooklyn and finally the University of Maryland, where he played his fifth and final season in the NCAA. Across a 136-game collegiate career, he averaged 5.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 19.3 minutes. Emilien’s signing follows the pick up of fellow Canadian-forward and Brampton-native, David Muenkat. He is the fourth player officially ready to suit up in the Black & Gold this year, joining Muenkat, Prince Oduro who will play his fourth season with the team, and reigning Canadian Player of the Year Koby McEwen. 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 Brampton’s own David Muenkat has agreed to a deal to join his hometown franchise for the 2025 season. Muenkat has played three seasons in the CEBL with Winnipeg in 2024 and Scarborough in 2023 and 2022. Last season with the Sea Bears, he eventually earned a starting spot thanks to his consistent and versatile play on the defensive end, as well as his complimentary offensive skillset. He posted five games with double-digit scoring in 2024 including a season-high of 16 points June 6 vs. Niagara. “We’re extremely excited to welcome David back home, where he grew up,” said Jermaine Anderson, general manager and vice president of basketball operations. David is extremely versatile on both ends of the floor and more importantly he takes pride on the defensive end, helping to shape and mold our identity moving forward.” Muenkat’s CEBL career is highlighted by a championship with the Shooting Stars in 2023. He was a key contributor for their team, averaging 7.3 points and 5.4 rebounds in 17.4 minutes per game. While offensively Muenkat’s vertical athleticism shines, he has continually grown as a three-point shooter, taking almost one per game in 2023, up from only four total attempts the season prior, and knocking them down at a 38.5 percent rate. “I am incredibly excited and grateful to be able to come back and play basketball professionally in my hometown,” said Muenkat. “It is a full circle moment and something that is nothing short of special. I’m thrilled for the opportunity to not only play in front of friends and family, but to also give back and impact my community first-hand. I am blessed beyond words and I look forward to competing and doing my part to help win some games for this organization.” In a three-year professional career, Muenkat has played three seasons in the CEBL and two seasons for Fraport Skyliners Frankfurt in Germany. He has averaged 8.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.0 assists, and 21.2 minutes in 114 games up to this point. This season for Frankfurt, he is second on the roster in total minutes played (643), and second in rebounds per game (5.6) and steals (1.1). In regular season play, Muenkat has shot the three-ball at a career best 41.3 percent on 3.3 attempts per outing over 19 games. Muenkat had a very successful collegiate career over five seasons with St. Francis Xavier University (U SPORTS), St. Francis College (NCAA), and Trinidad State Junior College (JUCO), having averaged 11.4 points, 7.7 rebounds, 1.1 assists, and 21.3 minutes in 117 games. In his final year with St. Francis Xavier, Muenkat was awarded U SPORTS Defensive Player of the Year, U SPORTS All-Canadian Second Team and All-AUS (Atlantic University Sport) First Team. With all of this personal success also came team success. St. Francis Xavier won the AUS Championship with Muenkat taking home tournament MVP. He also led the X-Men to the U SPORTS Championship Final, their first appearance since 2004. They took Carleton University, who at the time were coming off three-straight championships, to double overtime before ultimately falling 109-104. Muenkat finished the game with a collegiate career-high of 31 points with 13 rebounds and 11 made free throws. Muenkat’s signing follows the re-signing of Head Coach and Assistant General Manager Sheldon Cassimy for the 2025 campaign. He is the third player officially ready to suit up in the Black & Gold this year, joining reigning Canadian Player of the Year Koby McEwen, and Prince Oduro who will play his fourth season with the team. The Honey Badgers 2025 campaign is set to get underway May 18 in Montréal, followed by a quick stop in the nation's capital to take on the Ottawa BlackJacks on May 21.

We are honoured to be the team’s official meal provider and fuel them on their way to breaking new records. This year is even more special, as we highlight our ongoing commitment since 2018 to serving locally-sourced fresh produce and fresh chicken for our very own local pro-basketball team!
