Latest News About Winnipeg Sea Bears

Here are the latest public notes on the Winnipeg Sea Bears:

• The team kicked off the 2026 season with a May 9 game against the Edmonton Stingers, and they shifted away from Championship Weekend format to a playoff structure hosted at higher-seeded venues with a three-game CEBL Finals. This indicates an emphasis on single-elimination style playoffs rather than a weekend finale [Latest News - Winnipeg Sea Bears, May 13, 2026 summary]. [source: Latest News - Winnipeg Sea Bears]

• Training camp in spring 2026 included invitations to local players from Winnipeg universities (University of Winnipeg Wesmen and University of Manitoba Bisons), signaling ongoing development of local talent and community ties ahead of the season [Latest News - Winnipeg Sea Bears, May 13, 2026 summary].
