Given the seeming detest this city seems to have now for the Olympics I'm guessing that won't be happening haha
But oh heck yes. I've been waiting for a team for 4 years. This is awesome news.

This is intriguing.
Went to the Stingers / Real Esteli game in March and thought it was a decent experience. They didn't seem to mind the few of us doing the chanting / drumming thing. Winsport is a great arena although not an optimal location, the sound really popped in there compared to Spruce Meadows. Hope they can get concessions better than they did for that game.
Given they play the same time of year as Cavalry, I'd be casually interested at best in a CEBL club. But I'd still pay attention and probably get the odd tickets / merch.

They'll be changing the team name and colours.
Guess there'll be another western-themed name.... or maybe oil industry related.
I dunno... blue would be a nice change from the local red.
I'd go with Magpies, keeping the same blue/black colours.

Would have been nice to have gotten away from red for a Calgary sports team for a change.
Not sure about "Surge."

The most generic sounding, never used name ever
They should name their farm team the Thrust

Red Serge would be better - Mountie connection.

Will this be much better than Dino’s basketball?

The player who was the scoring leader in the CEBL this year is playing in Israel this year, after playing in Iceland and Denmark after finishing college down in the US,
A couple things on the minus side is that the teams often have to come together quickly, so there is for sure more individual play than 'team play'. I find the ball to be at times scrambly, with a ton of three point attempts, and less structured half court play and not much of an inside game.
