Winnipeg, MB, May 6, 2026 — The Winnipeg Sea Bears are set to begin the season on Saturday, May 9, against the Edmonton Stingers. Some things have changed. For example, Championship Weekend is no more, replaced instead by playoff tilts set at the higher seed’s venue and a three-game CEBL Finals. The Sea Bears answered fans’ call for change after a disappointing season as Championship Weekend hosts, tapping the University of Winnipeg’s Raimbault to lead their charges. Raimbault will have some talent to work with, too, in the form of former MVPs Xavier Moon and Teddy Allen, who are both making their CEBL returns. Moon, considered by some the greatest player in league history, last played in 2021, the last of his three consecutive MVP seasons with the Stingers before joining the NBA’s Los Angeles Clippers. He’s averaged 20.9 points per game in his career, but he’ll have to share the ball with Allen, the 2023 MVP who’s back with Winnipeg after a year away. At 25 points per game, Allen sits third in CEBL history and first among those with more than 32 games played.

Winnipeg, MB, April 29, 2026 — The Winnipeg Sea Bears today announced the club has extended training camp invitations to two local players: Elijah Mensah of the University of Winnipeg Wesmen and Daren Watts of the University of Manitoba Bisons. Training camp runs April 30 to May 2, 2026. Adding Daren and Elijah is great to have a couple more young local players be a part of the training camp experience," said Head Coach and General Manager Mike Raimbault. "We are excited to see them compete and contribute each day in camp.” Mensah, a 6'7" senior forward with the Wesmen, grew up in Winnipeg and attended Miles Macdonell Collegiate. In the 2025–26 Canada West season, he averaged 11.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 24.4 minutes per game, posting a season-high 21 points against the Regina Cougars and a season-high 11 rebounds against Manitoba. “I’m very grateful for the opportunity to join training camp and I’m looking forward to learning and competing in an environment with elite talent,” said Mensah.

Winnipeg, MB, April 29, 2026 — The Winnipeg Sea Bears today announced the club has extended training camp invitations to two local players: Ryan Luke of the University of Winnipeg Wesmen and Ramogi Nyagudi of the University of Manitoba Bisons. Training camp runs April 30 to May 2, 2026. "It's great to add Ramogi and Ryan to the training camp roster," said Head Coach and General Manager Mike Raimbault. "As local guys that have had some experience around the team previously, it makes sense to have them bolster the depth of training camp and help them both get some experience as well." A 6'7" forward and Winnipeg native, Ryan Luke wraps up his senior season with the Wesmen after coming through the ranks at John Taylor Collegiate. He averaged 10.2 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 28 minutes per game in his final season, posting a season-high 22 points against the Alberta Golden Bears and securing a season-high 13 rebounds against the Brandon Bobcats. Prior to his university career, Luke competed for Manitoba at the 2022 Canada Summer Games. Luke was part of one of the most significant stretches in Wesmen history, helping the program reach the U Sports Final 8 national championship tournament in both 2023 and 2024, the team's first national appearances in over 30 years since the 1993-94 season. "I'm very grateful for the opportunity to join the Sea Bears for training camp. This team is filled with proven talent and I'm looking forward to getting to work alongside this group," said Luke. Ramogi Nyagudi is a 6'9" forward and first-year player with the Bisons, a Winnipeg native who attended St. Paul's High School. In his debut 2025–26 Canada West season, he averaged 11.6 points and 5.4 rebounds per game in 21.5 minutes. Nyagudi posted season highs of 33 points and 12 rebounds against MacEwan. He also recorded a season-high 5 blocks against the Winnipeg Wesmen. Nyagudi played at the NCAA Division 1 level for the St. Thomas Tommies in St. Paul, Minnesota for the 2024-2025 season. Prior to that, he represented Canada at the FIBA U18 Men's AmeriCup in 2024, where Canada defeated the Dominican Republic to secure bronze. Nyagudi averaged 4.8 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists during the tournament. "Grateful to God and the coaching staff for the opportunity to compete against pros in my city. I'm very excited," said Nyagudi. Half our training camp roster calls Winnipeg home.
