PREMIER BASKETBALL LEAGUE
RELEASES 2009 SCHEDULE
The Premier Basketball League (PBL) has released their 2009 schedule, featuring thirteen teams playing 130 games over a three month span. Ten of these games, will be right here in Bay City with the Mid-Michigan Destroyers!
Watch the entire 2009 draft pick video!
Three games on Friday January 2, 2009, will start the season. The first tip-off will take place in Battle Creek, Michigan, as the Battle Creek Knights host the Chicago Throwbacks at 7:00 p.m. at Kellogg Arena. The day's two other contests will take place in Canada, as the Quebec Kebs welcome the Halifax Rainmen, and the Montreal Sasquatch opens their season at the Pierre-Charbonneau Centre against the Manchester Millrats.
The 2008 Premier Basketball League champion Rochester RazorSharks will defend their title on the road, visiting the Augusta Groove on Saturday, January 3. The Sharks will return to their home court one week later, as they welcome the Buffalo Stampede to the Blue Cross Arena on January 10.
Of the 130 games scheduled this season, over 110 of the contests will be weekend affairs, with games played on Friday night, Saturday or Sunday.
The Premier League's teams will play in one of three divisions - the Atlantic Division will consist of the Halifax (N.S.) Rainmen, Manchester (N.H.) Millrats, Vermont Frost Heaves, Montreal Sasquatch and Quebec Kebs. The Eastern Division will be home to the Rochester RazorSharks, Buffalo Stampede, Augusta Groove and Wilmington (N.C.) Sea Dawgs. The third division, the Central Division, will have the Chicago Throwbacks, Detroit Panthers, Mid-Michigan Destroyers and Battle Creek (Mich.) Knights.
"We are excited to kick off our second season and know the fans will enjoy many exciting rivalries and match-ups," commented PBL Chief Executive Officer Thomas E. Doyle.
Further detailed information on the postseason playoffs will be released shortly.

This is SOOOO exciting for the Tri-Cities! We missed the boat with the Loon's, now that ship is sailing! I hope this community will support it. I know they are training at the JJKN Hoops facility (St. Joes) but where will the games be held?
