The London Lightning is a Canadian professional basketball team based in London, Ontario, with home games at the Budweiser Gardens. The team competes in the Basketball Super League.
History
The Lightning name was announced on August 12, 2011. The team was a charter member of the National Basketball League of Canada (NBLC) that began play for the 2011–12 season and won the league's first championship. The Lightning have won the most NBLC championships with six. On August 17, former Albany Patroons and Lawton-Fort Sill Cavalry head coach Micheal Ray Richardson was announced as the Lightning's first head coach. The Lightning would go on to win the 2012 NBL championship, defeating the Halifax Rainmen 116-92 on March 25, 2012 at the John Labatt Centre to take the best-of-five championship series three games to two.
Carlos Knox was unveiled as the new Lightning head coach on July 17, 2014. He led the team to an 18–14 record. Knox was dismissed in August 2015 after hiding player Jonathan Mills' positive drug test results from Vito Frijia and the league. He was replaced by former Mississauga Power head coach Kyle Julius later in the month.
Julius would lead the Lightning to back-to-back championship appearances in 2016 and 2017, winning the championship in the latter. He would be replaced by former Niagara College and interim Niagara River Lions head coach, Keith Vassell. Vassell led the Lightning to another championship in 2017–18, but was fired after a 4–4 record in the 2018–19 season.
Die Lightning wurden 2011 gegründet und nahmen in der Saison 2011/12 zum ersten Mal an der NBLC teil. Sie sind das erste Basketballteam, das in London seit den London Lords angesiedelt ist, die von 2004 bis 2008 in der American Basketball Association (ABA) spielten.
Die Lightning haben eine starke Fangemeinde und sind bekannt für ihre aufregende Spielweise. Sie haben es geschafft, in ihrer kurzen Geschichte bereits zweimal die NBLC-Meisterschaft zu gewinnen, in den Jahren 2012 und 2013.
Die Lightning werden von Head Coach Kyle Julius trainiert. Er ist seit 2018 im Amt und hat das Team zu zwei NBLC-Meisterschaften geführt.
Der Kader der Lightning besteht aus einer Mischung aus erfahrenen Spielern und aufstrebenden Talenten. Zu den Schlüsselspielern gehören die Guards Gabe York und Anthony Gaines sowie die Forwards Travis Releford und Royce White.
Die Lightning sind ein aufstrebendes Team mit einer vielversprechenden Zukunft. Sie haben das Potenzial, in den kommenden Jahren zu einem der Top-Teams in der NBLC zu werden.
