History
Most recently, the Montreal Jazz played its only season in the National Basketball League of Canada in the 2012–13 season. The team did not play in the 2013–14 NBL Canada season after failing to secure a new ownership group.[2]
In February 2021, it was first announced that a Montreal team would join the CEBL in 2022.[3] On October 27, 2021, the team name and branding was revealed. Joel Anthony was named the inaugural general manager of the Alliance the same day.[4]
