Team

Dear Basketball Fans:

Every team in every sport at almost every level starts a new season with the same goal: Win a championship! Most teams fall short of this goal due to a lack of talent, unforeseen injuries or the emergence of a dominant opponent. Some factors can be controlled, others cannot.

I am a believer that champions are built from the inside out verses the outside in. Let me explain. Great physical talent does not necessarily lead to a title. Many physically superior teams have fallen to less talented, more cohesive opponents who are willing to do all the little things that are necessary for the team to succeed. Therein lies the 'heart of a champion.'

The professional level changes the landscape. All teams have tremendously gifted players. A championship contender has to be built with the right blend of athleticism, skill and chemistry. Roles have to be both defined and accepted by the players. Sacrifices have to be made. Practice habits have to be focused. Players and coaches have to be ready every night to compete to the best of their abilities in a relentless pursuit of success.

This is the Edmonton Energy. We are assembling a team that is made up of players of both skill and character. Many of the players have grown up in Edmonton and want to give back all they can on the court to the community. All will be able to play.

I look forward to our team giving their best efforts every time they step on the court. They owe it to themselves and their teammates to strive to meet and exceed expectations. They owe it to the fans because you are the reason we have this opportunity to play!

Come join us this season. Let our team's Energy join with yours for a great year!
