The Halifax Hornets are ready to compete.
The Hornets announced their final roster signing, bringing on board Ella Hoyt for the 2026 Maritime Women’s Basketball Association season.
Hoyt is a senior at Halifax Grammar School and has committed to Len Harvey and the Acadia University Axewomen, preparing to compete at the Atlantic University Sport level in 2026-27.
The five-foot-11 guard was ranked amongst the top recruits in Atlantic Canada.
She was part of Basketball Nova Scotia’s march to a bronze medal at the 2025 Canada Summer Games in St. John’s, NL.
The MWBA introduced a new rule for the 2026 season where players in their senior year of high school are eligible to compete. Each team has a limit of three graduating seniors.
The rule was introduced in order to provide a feeder system for the league’s eight teams.
