Rewriting the Playbook of Success: Team Ontario is Back!
As we prepare to defend our titles in 2025, we are on the hunt for Ontario’s top basketball talent to further strengthen our Provincial Team rosters.
Riding the momentum of an incredible summer; Team Ontario is setting our sights on another historic season. After sweeping the 2024 Canada Basketball National Championships with gold medals across all four divisions— both Girls and boys U15 and U17 —we are ready to rewrite the playbook for success in 2025.
Team Ontario’s dominance this past summer marks the first time since 2019 that a province has captured all the titles at the national event, solidifying our place as Canada’s basketball powerhouse. Our teams defeated top-tier opponents, including Quebec in thrilling finals, while Alberta claimed bronze medals across the board.
