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.
Known for their fast-paced and high-energy style of play, the London Lightning have a dedicated fan base that fills the stands at every home game. The team's roster is filled with talented players from Canada and around the world, who bring a diverse range of skills and experience to the court.
The London Lightning have a history of success in the NBL, with multiple playoff appearances and championships under their belt. The team is known for their strong work ethic, teamwork, and determination to win, making them a formidable opponent for any team they face.
Overall, the London Lightning are a dynamic and exciting team to watch, and their passion for the game of basketball is evident in every game they play. With a winning tradition and a commitment to excellence, the London Lightning are a force to be reckoned with in the world of Canadian basketball.
