National Basketball League of Canada president Andre Levingston has announced a new team for the province of Quebec, based in Montreal, to play in the upcoming 2012-13 season. This comes as the league decided to remove the Laval Kebs from its roster.

“The Kebs placed third last year, but then experienced ongoing challenges that require us to move in a different direction to ensure the league’s continuity and long-term stability,” Levingston said. “We are grateful to Quebec fans and hope that their support will continue in Montreal and across the province.”

The National Basketball League of Canada aims to provide high-calibre action and affordable family entertainment. Its second season, with teams also in Ontario, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, tips off on November 2.
