Game time in Canada: An inside look at the NBL

It’s almost game time at the GM Centre in Oshawa. Downtown, in the shadow of the car factories to the south and the university at the north, is a changing place. The city invested heavily in revitalizing the downtown and it doesn’t look much like the place I left in the spring of 2009. I’m back to get my first taste of the upstart National Basketball League of Canada.
