The dates that the Saskatchewan Rattlers plan to #HoldCourt in Saskatoon have been announced.
The Canadian Elite Basketball League released regular season schedules for all six franchises on Thursday, and according to Rattlers Director of Business Operations Brad Kraft, fans in Saskatchewan got a say on when their team will be on the floor.
“It just goes to show that we’re a league that’s dedicated to the fans,” said Kraft. “We ran a poll over social media asking fans what dates would be best for them, and the majority response was weeknight games.”
The Rattlers will tip off their inaugural season on Thursday May 9, 2019 against the Niagara River Lions. They’ll play a total of 20 regular season games, with 10 of them being played at Sasktel Centre. Season tickets are already on sale, while general admission tickets will go on sale the new year.
