Mason Bourcier Re-Signs with the Edmonton Stingers
6'4 Canadian guard returns to Edmonton
EDMONTON, AB - The Edmonton Stingers of the Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) announced Tuesday the signing of Kelowna, BC native Mason Bourcier. The 6’4 Guard joined the Stingers part way through the season following a 3 game stint with the Winnipeg Sea Bears.
“I am very excited to return to the Stingers organization!" said Bourcier. “I had an amazing experience last summer and loved the fan base and community support here. I can’t wait to compete for another summer in Edmonton!”
Bourcier is returning to the CEBL for his fifth season and first full season with the Stingers. He began his CEBL career as a developmental player with the Fraser Valley Bandits (now Vancouver Bandits) and has since played for the Newfoundland Growlers, Calgary Surge, Winnipeg Sea Bears and, most recently, the Edmonton Stingers. Last year, Bourcier appeared in 19 games, starting 18, and tallied 71 points, 50 rebounds, 28 assists and 15 steals. He recorded a season-high 14 points on Aug. 1 against the Vancouver Bandits.
“Mason was a tremendous mid-season addition for us last summer,” said Stingers Head Coach and General Manager Jordan Baker. “He anchored our defense and brought high-level work ethic and professionalism to our locker room. We are excited to see his game grow in his second year with the club, and I am confident Stingers fans will love his hard-nosed approach to the game.”
Bourcier 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).
