Rep/OBA TEAMS

These competitive, traveling teams play in the Ontario Basketball League (OBL). Games in the OBL are organized by the Ontario Basketball\ Association (OBA) and a schedule can be seen on the OBA website. It is the goal of the Hurricanes Rep teams for their players to have fun, improve and be competitive through commitment and hard work.

The Hurricanes run teams for both boys and girls ranging from under age 12 (U12) to under age 19 (U19). The seasons for each team run at various times throughout the school year.

House League

The Hurricanes are proud to offer this program for our youngest age groups. House League is a fun filled basketball program for brand new players, more experienced players or those looking to work towards Rep team opportunities. Athletes from grades 4-8 are welcome and are split into grade level groups - grades 4-6 and grades 7-8. The program entails an introduction to basketball rules, individual skills and team concepts.

Statement on COVID-19

Out of an abundance of caution Ontario Basketball has elected to, effective immediately, cancel OBA Championships, both Provincials and Ontario Cup, at the U11 and U12 age groups, and suspend all basketball programming for one month – through Easter long weekend, at which time we will reassess health advisories and safety measures as they relate to COVID-19.

Our commitment remains to promoting a healthy, active lifestyle and therein the health of our members comes first.

Following our communication to internal stakeholders yesterday, Ontario Basketball will continue to monitor the latest updates from the Public Health Agency of Canada, Canada’s chief public health officer, and the Government of Canada and if there is a change in status, or new recommendations, we will provide updates on a timely basis.

While there does not appear to be significant risk to Ontario Basketball’s demographic of membership we encourage you to be vigilant and take extra precaution for your own health and safety.

The Public Health Agency of Canada currently assesses the public health risk associated with COVID-19 as low for Canada and for Canadian travellers. The public health risk is continually assessed as new information becomes available. Updates on COVID-19 can be found at:
