BLOG POST: OVO ATHLETICS CENTRE

If you haven't heard already, the Raptors practice facility (formerly known as the  BioSteele Centre) has been re branded and re named to the 'OVO Athletics Centre'. 

The announcement came in the mid morning of March 14th as the G-League's Raptors 905 played on the 'Welcome OVO" court hours before the Raptors were set to play LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers in a 'Drake Night' game.

"The Boy" and Massai have cooked up another well executed plan that  will leave its impact on generations of basketball fans and Torontonians.  Globe and Mail writer Ryan Wolstat  casually suggested that we all "Just call it the 6 God Centre" but some of our favorites include 'The Raptors Turn Up Facility' 'The Owls Den'  or 'The Aubrey Graham Centre for Performing Arts'

Give credit to the The Toronto Raptors Global Ambassador and his team for adding another staple in the history books. We are unsure what else this facility will be used for (beyond a practice facility for the Raptors)  or what may lie ahead on the road ahead to OVO's involvement in the development of Canadian Basketball.

However the story unfolds we know that the Basketball Gods are looking down at this and are in favor of this decision.
