Background
Prior to 2023, the most recent professional basketball team in Quebec City was in 2011 when the National Basketball League of Canada (NBLC) added the Quebec Kebs. The team did not play in the 2012–13 NBL Canada season after failing to secure a new ownership group.[1] Quebec was without a professional basketball team for 10 years.[citation needed]
On June 6, 2023, it was announced that a new professional basketball league team, the Quebec Pioneers led by CEO Cyrille Poitevineau-Millin, would join the Basketball Super League for the upcoming 2023 season.[2][3]
