The Canadian Elite Basketball League sends its deepest condolences to the family of Kenny Ejim, who has passed away while playing with Al-Najma in the Bahrain Premier League. Kenny played for the Hamilton Honey Badgers this past season and with the Saskatchewan Rattlers in 2020.

As a young player from Brampton, Ontario who consistently elevated his career to the next level, Kenny exemplified what our league is about. His hard work and infectious personality motivated his teammates and inspired younger players to pursue their dreams. As much as Kenny derived from the game, he gave back far more.

Our sympathy and prayers are with all who knew Kenny as a family member, friend and teammate. He will be greatly missed.
