Pro basketball has returned to the Maritimes with the star of the Eastern Canadian Basketball League.
The league consists of six teams located in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and PEI.
The season kicked off in Saint John, New Brunswick with the hometown Union posting a 98-85 win over the Bathurst Bears in front of two-thousand fans on Friday.
The region has been without a league since the National Basketball League of Canada left nearly three years ago.
The Charlottetown Power will open their season at home on Saturday night at 7.00 at the Eastlink Centre hosting the Moncton Motion.
