The Canadian Elite Basketball League has decided to forgo a 2020 regular season due to COVID-19, and instead have its teams potentially play a tournament in one location.

Tommy and Phil Scrubb won five national championships as members of the Carleton University Ravens before heading overseas to continue their basketball careers.

He will now change his colours from red, white and black to blue and white, as the d-man recently signed his first professional contract with the Toronto Marlies of the American Hockey League.

The team says it wants to continue to support child and youth empowerment, mental health, paediatric and palliative care, but also expand its reach to include things like assistance for victims of domestic abuse and organ transplant educational resources.

The charity's current contract with Capital Sports and Entertainment Inc. expires on July 31.

As part of the CPL's training protocol the club says it's adopted a phased approach to training that will begin with non-contact, individual or small group workouts.

The new kit is immediately available for purchase, which can be done through the teams website. 

The team's 50 wins equalled a franchise record set last season, and this season's 67's reached the mark in six fewer games.

Ottawa's new soccer club will be donating all net proceeds from the sales of its face-coverings to the Ottawa Food Bank.
