The tournament featured six men’s and six women’s entries, with Montreal-area clubs making up two-thirds of the draw in both cases. Basketball Canada officials decided in December to restart the championships, but the final approval came only in February, which was too late to attract teams from the West and the Maritimes. “It was the coaches at the CIAU (Canadian Interuniversity Athletic Union) who approached Basketball Canada about the need to have something available for post-university players who wanted to remain competitive in this country,” said Basketball Canada president Olga Hrycak. “The idea is to develop a club system in Canada for players who aren’t quite ready for our national teams, but could develop. We saw a few 40-year-olds out here and that wasn’t the idea. Personally, I’d like to eligibility rules to limit the age to 25, maybe 27. We’ll just have to see where we go from here.”
In round-robin play: …………………………………………………… Ford Thunderbirds defeated United Armens 123-70. …………………………………………………… Western Ramblers clubbed the Quebec Titans 114-52. …………………………………………………… The Ford Thunderbirds dispatched Champs 86-80. …………………………………………………… Sun Youth nipped Western Ramblers 87-86.
In the final, the Toronto Ford Thunderbirds defeated Montreal Sun Youth 100-88 after rallying from a 14-point, first-half deficit. Norm Clarke notched 22 for Toronto, all in the second half. Sun Youth came out flat and trailed 51-35 with 3:12 to play in the first half before trimming the margin to 52-44 at the break. Mark Henry also had 22 for Ford while Barry Mungar and Gerry Henry each added 14. Former Bishop’s standout David King led Sun Youth with 28. Nick Arvanitis, a member of Concordia’s 1990 national championship team, had 22 and Rick Hunger had 15. “This isn’t exactly what we had in mind when the decision was made to start up the championships again. We’re talking master’s basketball for a lot of these players, given their ages, but it was important to get the championships going again and we succeeded,” said Basketball Canada vice-president Olga Hrycak told the Montreal Gazette.
