March 14, 2025

American guard Scottie Lindsey brings extensive experience in the NBA G League and CEBL to Edmonton

The Edmonton Stingers of the Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) announced Monday the signing of American guard Scottie Lindsey to their 2025 roster. The Oak Park, Illinois native was a member of the Winnipeg Sea Bears last season and the Saskatchewan Rattlers in 2022. Lindsey also  brings extensive experience in the NBA G League after a four-year NCAA career with Northwestern. 


“Joining the Edmonton Stingers team is a great opportunity for me,” said Lindsey. “I’m excited to be a part of a winning organization that prioritizes playing the right way and taking care of their players. The coaching staff has shown me that they want me here and want me to be myself. I am very motivated and looking forward to competing for a championship here in Edmonton. Go Stingers!”


Lindsey brings proven CEBL scoring to the Stingers roster, having averaged 13.5 points per game for the Sea Bears last season while also averaging a team-best 1.2 steals per game. In 2022, Lindsey led the Rattlers in scoring at 19.5 points per game across 16 games, posting a CEBL career high 31 points against the Scarborough Shooting Stars that season.


Most recently playing professionally in Luxembourg, the 6’5” guard has played in 121 in the NBA G-League, notching double-digit scoring averages in 4 of his 5 seasons. He recorded a career high 32 points on February 24th, 2023 as a member of the Main Celtics. 


“We are excited to bring Scottie to Edmonton for the 2025 season,” said Stingers head coach and general manager Jordan Baker. “His length, athleticism, and shooting ability will allow him to make an immediate impact this summer. A proven professional in the CEBL, Scottie brings another veteran presence to our locker room, and he will be relied upon at both ends of the floor.”


Prior to turning pro, Lindsey was a four-year player at Northwestern, starting in 76 of his 126 NCAA Division I games. In his senior year, he was named to the All Big-10 Third team, averaging a team-high 15.2 points per game. He finished his career ranked top 20 in the program’s all-time points and top 10 in three-pointers made.


Lindsey and the Stingers will return to the Edmonton EXPO Centre on May 11th to host the Calgary Surge in their home opener. Tickets are available for as low as $20 per seat and can be purchased online or by contacting the Stingers head office via email ([email protected]) or phone (1-87STINGERS).

Vancouver Bandits Make Impactful Community Visits in the Okanagan

February 12, 2026
The Vancouver Bandits, BC’s professional basketball team in the Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL), are committed to making a positive impact through basketball and growing the game across British Columbia, and this dedication was highlighted this past week in Kelowna and the Okanagan area. Coming off the recent announcement of Kelowna HOOPFEST, a brand-new basketball festival featuring a CEBL neutral-site home game in partnership with the City of Kelowna, Bandits head coach Kyle Julius spent time at five Okanagan-area secondary schools and both of Kelowna’s post-secondary men’s basketball teams, as part of the Vancouver Bandits third-annual Bandits School Tour. Julius and Bandits staff visited Mount Boucherie Secondary School, Immaculata Regional High School, Okanagan Mission Secondary, Rutland Secondary School and Kelowna Secondary, as well as the men’s basketball teams at UBC Okanagan and Okanagan College, providing dedicated and tailored practices along with motivational talks and training materials. Launched in 2023, the Bandits School Tour is supported by the Bandits Community Foundation, Preston Chevrolet and Envision Financial and offers a unique opportunity for student-athletes and volunteer coaches to learn directly from BC’s only professional basketball coach. “What stood out most during our visit was the impact basketball can have when it is rooted in mentorship and connection; it is clear how vibrant the basketball and business ecosystem is in the Okanagan,” said Bandits team president Dylan Kular. “We are thankful to the Okanagan and Kelowna communities for welcoming us so openly, and this is only the beginning. We are committed to being present and intentional in the lead-up to Kelowna HOOPFEST from June 5th to 7th.” In addition to the Bandits School Tour, Julius and members of Bandits staff had the opportunity to connect with various Okanagan business, media and community leaders, including attending the 51st annual Western Canada Tournament at Kelowna Secondary and a Kelowna Rockets hockey game. ###
