History

On May 2, 2018, the Canadian Elite Basketball League announced Hamilton, Ontario, as one of original six teams for its inaugural season beginning May 2019.[3] On June 12, 2018, at a press conference the CEBL announced the logo and name of its Hamilton franchise as the Hamilton Honey Badgers, a nickname inspired by the world's most fearless animal. The team also announced the hiring of former Toronto Raptors' executive John Lashway as team president.[4] On December 19, 2019, the organization appointed Jermaine Anderson as the new General Manager of the team.[5]

The Honey Badgers won their first game, at home over Edmonton, 103–86 on May 12, 2019.[6]

The Honey Badgers made the playoffs and defeated the Niagara River Lions but lost the CEBL Finals to the Saskatchewan Rattlers.
