The Canadian Elite Basketball League is set to become the first professional league in Canada to return to play following the COVID-19 outbreak. On Thursday, CEBL commissioner Mike Morreale told CBC Sports the league has finalized plans to play a month-long tournament at the Meridian Centre in St. Catharines, Ont., starting July 15. The CEBL and CBC announced a three-year partnership on November 26, 2019 that includes broadcast and streaming coverage each season. All seven teams will stay in a bubble-like setting in St. Catharines, playing games at the Meridian Centre and practising at a nearby facility. The 2020 CEBL season was meant to start in early May but has been sidelined due to the pandemic.
