The Windsor Express is a Canadian professional basketball team based in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. The Express are an expansion team of the National Basketball League of Canada which is set to begin play for the 2012-13 season. The Express will play its home games at the WFCU Centre.
[edit] History
On June 28, 2012, the NBL announced that Windsor had been awarded an expansion team set to begin play for the 2012-13 season.[1]
On August 1, 2012, two members of the Express' ownership group was announced (Dartis Willis and Mo Regnier), and the team nickname was officially confirmed. The Express name is partially a tribute to the Underground Railroad (one of whose last stops was in Windsor, and its International Memorial is located there), as well as one to the rail yards on the banks of the Detroit River.[2][3]
