History

On April 2, 2013, it was announced that an ownership group had stepped forward to put an NBL Canada team in Brampton for the 2013–14. The Brampton A's color scheme would be red and black.[1]

On September 15, 2015, the A's decided to relocate to Orangeville, Ontario.[2][3]

Main articles: Powerade Centre and Athlete Institute

Originally opened in 1998, the Powerade Centre is a 5,000-seat multi-purpose arena in Brampton, Ontario. The main arena has a capacity of 5,000. The A's share the arena with the Brampton Beast of the ECHL. It is also home to the Brampton Inferno, Peel Avengers, and Brampton Excelsiors lacrosse teams.[4]

On September 15, 2015, the A's announced that they would be relocating to Orangeville and would begin playing at the Athlete Institute in Mono, Ontario. The team declined the option to remain at the Powerade Centre for five more years. The A's would not have to pay rental fees for modifying the court, as they were forced to do in their old arena. Team owner James Tipping said, "I had to do what was best for the team and NBL Canada. I chose to do what best for the franchise and NBL Canada."[3][2]
