Bags packed, road trip state of mind engaged.
Two Nova Scotia Division teams hope this is the first – but not their last trip – to New Brunswick on Saturday as the Maritime Women’s Basketball Association opens Week V of a competitive season Saturday.
The PROLINE Legacy Cup Final Four championship is set for Fredericton’s Richard J. Currie Center June 20 to 21.
Plenty has to happen before that including the stretch run in the eight-team circuit.
Action begins tonight at 6:30 p.m., at Fredericton’s Lady Beaverbrook Gymnasium when the banged-up Fredericton Freeze welcome Halifax Hornets to The Freezer.
Halifax comes in sitting second in the circuit at 5-1 while the Freeze sits 2-3. Fredericton has played the least amount of games in the league, but that changes in a hurry over the next seven days.
The other Saturday outing unfolds in the heart of Saint John’s uptown when host Port City Fog welcome Lake City 56ers of Dartmouth/Cole Harbour/Preston to St. Malachy’s Memorial High School.
Game time is 7 p.m.
Port City sits 3-3 and Lake City arrives at 3-4.
Both of those games are available on Pay Per View by visiting www.ao.live
There are four games Sunday, beginning at 12:30 p.m., when Fredericton greets the 56ers at LB Gym while at 1 p.m., Truro Tidal Queens (0-7) host Halifax Thunder (6-0) at Dal Agricultural College.
Another 1 p.m., game unfolds back at St. Malachy’s when the Hornets meet the Fog in the PROLINE Featured Game of the Week.
The busy Sunday ends at 3 p.m., when Miramichi HerIcanes (2-6) travel to Moncton (5-2) to tangle with the Mystics at 3 p.m.
