Turnovers prove costly as Brampton holds off a fourth-quarter Winnipeg push at CAA Centre.

Fresh off a dominant 97-71 win over the defending CEBL champions, the Winnipeg Sea Bears pack their bags and head east to take on the Brampton Honey Badgers. The Sea Bears (3-1) arrive in Brampton fresh off taking down the 2025 CEBL champions. After a tough 103-101 road loss to Scarborough in game 3, Winnipeg answered with a dominant 97-71 victory over Niagara at Canada Life Centre on Friday. Now comes the next test: a Brampton squad that many are calling the early favourites out of the East. The Honey Badgers are built to score. Sean East II has been everything advertised this season, and head coach Mike Raimbault knows his group will need to bring defensive focus for a full 40 minutes. "Every possession is important, and we can't afford to have any lapses," Raimbault said. "Defensively is where we're trying to trademark or put a stamp on how we want to play, that's super important for us." Trey McGowens is keeping it simple on what it'll take to slow Brampton down. "Just making it as tough as possible," he said. "Rebounding, playing in transition, getting stops and playing with pace. Just keep building on what we've been working on." The head-to-head history is close. Winnipeg is 3-2 all-time against Brampton, going 1-1 in the 2025 season, winning at home but dropping the road matchup. The Sea Bears will be looking to flip that script on Monday. Watch your Sea Bears on the road on CBC Gem , cbcsports.ca , CBC Sports YouTube , CEBL+

May 22, 2026 – Winnipeg, MB - David Asper, owner and Chair of the Winnipeg Sea Bears, is pleased to announce the appointment of Rhéanne Marcoux as team President, effective June 1, 2026. Marcoux has been serving as Chief Brand and Experience Officer since January 2026, and prior to that, worked closely with the Sea Bears as an external consultant and staff mentor. Asper will remain as Chair of the Sea Bears and, as a co-owner of the Canadian Elite Basketball League, will continue as the team’s Director on the League Board, where he currently serves on its Executive Committee. “Rhéanne is a proven success in professional sports in Winnipeg, and her impact with the Bombers is truly national – for both the team and the CFL itself,” said Asper. “Since joining the Sea Bears, she has fundamentally transformed how this organization operates, from implementing new systems and processes to establishing long-term team culture across the organization. This appointment is the natural next step, and I’m looking forward to having our fans and our entire organization benefit from her leadership.” Over an 11-year tenure with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, Marcoux rose from the marketing department to Vice President, Marketing and Communications for the 112 th Grey Cup, where she led the brand strategy, content creation, fan engagement, and communications apparatus for one of the CFL’s most iconic franchises. Her work culminated in overseeing the marketing and communications efforts for the 2026 Grey Cup Festival, a national tentpole event that showcased Winnipeg on the country’s biggest stage. Prior to her time with the Blue Bombers, Marcoux built a diverse career across broadcast journalism with Radio Canada, sports marketing with True North Sports and Entertainment, and as founder of her own creative agency. She holds a degree in communications and is an alumna of Red River College and the University of Winnipeg. A content strategist, design specialist, multimedia expert, and brand builder, Marcoux is known for her ability to create emotional connections between fans and the brands they love. Her approach goes beyond traditional advertising – it’s rooted in storytelling, creative ambition, and a deep understanding of what turns casual fans into lifelong ones. Since arriving at the Sea Bears in January 2026, Marcoux has implemented a new CRM, launched a marketing automation system, introduced project management infrastructure, and led a brand and culture reset across the organization. As President, she will oversee all business operations, brand strategy, revenue, marketing, ticketing, partnerships, fan experience, and community engagement. “When I came on board, I saw an organization with incredible potential and a fan base that was ready for more,” said Marcoux. “Over the past several months, we’ve been building new foundations – new systems, new processes and a new way of working together. There’s a lot of building left to do, but we are so fortunate to have a fantastic staff and I’m excited to continue to grow the Sea Bears organization together.”

Winnipeg returns to Canada Life Centre Friday looking to extend a perfect home record against Niagara — and the building is set up for a show.
