“I enjoyed playing in the CEBL my very first summer,” said Bandoumel. “I feel like this is a very competitive league which allows you to showcase your game. Edmonton has a great organization and coach so it was a great situation for me to go into. Jordan has a player/coach style which is perfect to evolve in this league where he also excelled.”
Emmanuel is returning to the CEBL for his second season. He began his CEBL career with the Saskatchewan Rattlers (now the Saskatchewan Mamba), averaging 10.9 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game.
“Bringing Emmanuel to Edmonton was a priority for us this off-season.” said Stingers Head Coach and General Manager Jordan Baker. “He is a high character individual who can impact the game on both ends of the court, and his energy and passion is infectious. We look forward to seeing him mesh with our group this summer!”
Bandoumel will join the Stingers at Edmonton EXPO Centre on May 9th to host the Winnipeg Sea Bears in their home opener. Tickets are available for as low as $20 per seat and can be purchased online, by contacting the Stingers head office via email ([email protected]) or phone (1-87STINGERS).
