Surge return to Saddledome for Aug. 10 regular season finale against River Lions
The Calgary Surge return to the Scotiabank Saddledome to play their regular-season finale Aug. 10 against the Niagara River Lions, the defending CEBL champions. Friday night, the Surge take on first-place Vancouver Bandits at WinSport at 8 p.m.
The Calgary Surge are hoping to turn their regular-season finale into a record-setting one.
On Aug. 10 at the Saddledome, the Surge will take on the defending Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) champions, the Niagara River Lions.
The Surge have already qualified for the post-season but will be hoping to shatter their one-game attendance record set last season, when 12,237 attended a game to set an all-time CEBL record.
Both the Surge and the River Lions have qualified for the CEBL Championship Weekend two years in a row, so their Saddledome showdown could be a preview of a post-season clash to come.
'We are thrilled to be back at the iconic Scotiabank Saddledome and to be able to make good on the promise to our fans that we would return,' said Surge vice-chairman and president Jason Ribeiro. 'I would like to thank Calgary Sports and Entertainment Corporation for their partnership and collaboration as we work to bring a premier night of basketball, arts and culture, and community to thousands of Calgarians.'
Meanwhile, the second-place Surge take on the first-place Vancouver Bandits Friday night at WinSport.
Game time is 8 p.m.
