The Halifax Hoopers are a professional basketball team in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and members of The Basketball League (TBL).

History

The Halifax Hoopers were officially announced in August 2024,[1] becoming one of the first two Canadian franchises to join The Basketball League (TBL), alongside the Port City Power of Saint John, New Brunswick.[2] Halifax's return to the professional basketball scene follows a four-year absence after the Halifax Hurricanes, who last played in 2020, disbanded in 2021 following the COVID-19 pandemic. [3]

The Hoopers are owned by Geoff Clyke,[1] who has emphasized a community-driven, sustainable model of operations. Unlike previous professional teams in the region, the Hoopers aim to avoid high overhead costs by playing in university gyms—potentially at Dalhousie or Saint Mary's—rather than in the larger Scotiabank Centre.[1] The team settled on playing at the Zatzman Sportsplex,[4] located across the harbour from downtown Halifax.[2]

Augy Jones was named the franchise's inaugural head coach and general manager.[2] A Halifax native and Nova Scotia Sport Hall of Fame inductee, Jones played at St. Francis Xavier University and previously coached at both his alma mater and Saint Mary’s University in Halifax.[2]

The Hoopers have committed to scouting Nova Scotia talent and limiting out-of-province recruitment. League rules also mandate post-game fan interaction, such as autograph sessions, to foster stronger community connections.[1]
