TORONTO — It was an easy decision for Drew Green to become involved with the Canadian Elite Basketball League because it married two of his passions: business and basketball.
Green was named the new chair of the CEBL's board of governors on Thursday and also became co-owner of the league. The chief executive officer of apparel brand Indochino said it was an incredible opportunity to join the leadership team of the men's pro basketball league.
"The second thing is just we're a basketball family. I've got two boys that play at a really high level and we've been doing it now for 12 or 13 years with them and so it's a combination of being a basketball and business family." There are 10 teams in the CEBL, with franchises in Montreal, Ottawa, St. Catharines, Ont., Scarborough, Ont., Brampton, Ont., Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver.
