Kodiaks men’s basketball team to host 2017 ACAC Men’s Basketball Championship
LETHBRIDGE – The Lethbridge College Kodiaks men’s basketball team announced on Wednesday (Oct. 18) that they will host the Cora Breakfast and Lunch ACAC Men’s Basketball Championships from March 1-3 in the Val Matteotti Gymnasium.
The Kodiaks men’s team will host the ACAC championship tournament for the first time in program history. It’s the second straight year that the ACAC championships have come to Lethbridge College, after hosting the women’s tournament last season.
Head Coach Ryan Heggie says it’s very exciting to be hosting, and gave a lot of credit to the athletic department and their sponsors for stepping up with a bid and ultimately getting the championships.
“Southern Alberta hasn’t seen men’s playoff basketball in sometime because of the way the tournament is set up. This is a basketball hot bed, there will be eight top high end teams full of quality basketball players, it’s going to be a great weekend,” he said.
