Montreal to host Ottawa in outdoor Canadian Elite Basketball League game in May
The Canadian Elite Basketball League is holding an outdoor game this spring. The Montreal Alliance will host the Ottawa Blackjacks on May 23 at IGA Stadium, an open-air venue. "When we launched the Alliance, our goal was to bring something unique to Montréal," Alliance co-owner and general manager Joel Anthony said in a statement. "This game under the stars embodies that — an experience that goes beyond sport." It will be the first professional five-on-five basketball game held outdoors in Canadian history, according to the CEBL. "Our league and our teams continue to deliver unique, innovative experiences for basketball fans across the country," Mike Morreale, commissioner and CEBL co-founder, said in a statement. "IGA Stadium is a world-class facility and the ideal venue to host this historic game, where Montréal and Ottawa will ignite their rivalry under the stars." The game will be nationally televised on TSN and RDS starting at 8 p.m. ET. IGA Stadium was the original home of Major League Baseball's Montreal Expos and has also hosted soccer, cricket and other team sports.
