Kal Tire Becomes Official Tire Expert of the CEBL
The Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) announced Friday a multi-year national partnership naming Kal Tire as the Official Tire Expert of the CEBL and its 10 member clubs.
The partnership unites Canada’s largest professional sports league and one of Canada’s largest independent tire service dealers. With over 260 Kal Tire stores across Canada, this landmark partnership will see Kal Tire expand its existing partnerships with the Vancouver Bandits, Edmonton Stingers and Brampton Honey Badgers to now include the entire CEBL and will provide basketball fans nationwide with access to exclusive Kal Tire offers and promotions by attending games during the 2024 season. As part of the agreement, Kal Tire will leverage the marketing rights and intellectual property of the CEBL and its teams.
“Kal Tire is one of Canada's leading automotive brands and has been a trusted source for retail and service for tires for over 70 years,” said Mike Morreale, Commissioner and Co-Founder of the CEBL. “They have a long-standing tradition of supporting Canadian sports and deep roots in the communities in which they operate across the country. We look forward to collaborating with them and their expanded commitment to the CEBL and Canadian basketball in 2024.”
“Kal Tire is pleased to support the CEBL and basketball enthusiasts from across Canada,” said Jamie Shillingford, marketing manager stores, Kal Tire. “Canadians from coast-to-coast can now cheer their favourite CEBL team and know that Kal Tire is there to help them drive to and from each and every game safely.”
