We have reached the halfway point of the CEBL season, which has already seen a variety of firsts and records for the league and individual franchises. To highlight only a small variety, the Saskatchewan Rattlers set a franchise record for season ticket memberships, the Vancouver Bandits broadcasted the first ever game in Tagalog as part of the Filipino Heritage game, and the Montreal Alliance hosted the Ottawa Blackjacks in the first ever outdoor game.
To add to the excitement, several new and returning players are signing on, many of whom are returning from successful seasons in international leagues.
