    by RR on 2023-05-30Canada Life Centre - Winnipeg

    The premier night for the Sea Bears was great! Great experience for the money, hope to see lots more games. The league game ending format adds a lot of tension.

    Fantastic Event!

    by Paul on 2023-05-30Canada Life Centre - Winnipeg

    The Sea Bears franchise opening game was a fun, entertaining and safe event. It's exciting to see Winnipeg players in a professional league in our home city. The quality of the basketball is great. It's fast paced. It's fun for the family. Thank you for a stellar event. I also really enjoy the rule about the ca. last 4 minutes being replaced with the target score 9 points higher than the leading score at the time. Ideally the quarters would get increased from ten minutes to 12. Thank you again.

    First Game of New Bball Era

    by Ronaldo on 2023-05-30Canada Life Centre - Winnipeg

    Liked the excitement and fast pace of the game. Didn’t care for the music blasting during the play. Glad it was tuned down in the second half. Great experience.

    Sea Bears 'break the ice' at Canada Life Centre!

    by G. L. on 2023-05-30Canada Life Centre - Winnipeg

    The Canada Life Centre was loud and spectators demonstrated enthusiasm for this inaugural game! Mascot Churchill 'dropping in' for the tipoff was a treat (although not an original entry), and the light show added energy. The quality of play was a little less spectacular - maybe the team just needs more time together to shake out the nerves and improve shot accuracy. The third quarter was a highlight and the Sea Bears showcased their talent. I like the end-of-game rules for CEBL - the 'target score' made the game exciting and the Sea Bears kept us on the edge of our seats to the very end. All 'n all, we're happy to welcome the Sea Bears to Winnipeg and look forward to more exciting bball throughout the season. Go Sea Bears Go!

    Overall a really good time

    by Anonymous person on 2023-05-30Canada Life Centre - Winnipeg

    The experience was good. Fun atmosphere. Only negative was the shortage of staff. Lines to get in the building were excruciating long, security was also being extra diligent making that process take longer than usual. Then inside the venue, only about half the gates had staff to direct patrons. But the on court production and product were good. Would attend again

    The game

    by Basketball Oma on 2023-05-30Canada Life Centre - Winnipeg

    I loved watching the game. Enjoyed the crowd excitement, entertainment provided by the players is awesome. I did NOT enjoy the continuous loud music, felt it was distracting for the players. I am NOT a fan of the Target score, it takes away from the game.

    Great Experience overall

    by Jason on 2023-05-30Canada Life Centre - Winnipeg

    Great Game and great experience overall. But there is ONE policy or rule that needs to be implemented in the next games and onwards. And that is, Fans Should NOT be allowed to get back to their seats while the game is ongoing. It disrupts the viewing pleasure of the fans who are already seated and it is so annoying. This rule has been implemented on other venues that i have been to when I watch NBA games in the states. Fans should only be allowed to get back to their seats during deadball situations i.e fouls are called, timeouts etc...Hopefully we can adapt this rule asap. But as mentioned above, my overall experience was fantastic. I certainly had a great time with my friends. Thank You!

    Game was great!!

    by Tegs on 2023-05-30Canada Life Centre - Winnipeg

    Recently i took my son to tge Sea Bears game as an early birthday gift. We had an amazing time. The game was great, they won!! We will definitely be purchasing more tickets. The jerseys were a bit pricey, but we still got one. Not everyone can afford the $90 pricetag, plus admission, food, drinks, parking it does add up. However, im glad we went because it was a great time. I wish the team all the best this season!
