The Edmonton Stingers basketball team is 74 days old. The team will be playing in the inaugural season of the Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) playing out of the Edmonton Expo Centre. Coming up on their 11 week birthday, the team has already launched their season ticket deposit campaign as they begin to make their footprint in the Capital City.
