The game of basketball is growing in Canada. Statistically it is the fasting growing sport in our country.
If you are a basketball junkie, or looking to catch some good action this weekend, you want to check out some games that the 2014 Guy Vetrie Memorial tournament. Featuring some great local talent, the tournament also has teams from across the province, as well as a U.S team from North Carolina. If last night was any indication of things to come, clear your schedule for Championship Saturday.
