If Rankin Inlet claims the title of Hockeytown, Nunavut, you can pencil in Cambridge Bay as Basketballtown, Nunavut.

The Cambridge Bay Basketball Association wrapped up its second season earlier this month with the best-of-five championship series between the Killinik High School Wolverines and Team Juice. It came right down to the wire but the Wolverines came out on top in the decider by a score of 61-52 to win the series, 3-2, and the title.

Peter Ohokanoak, the association's president, said this was the second year in a row that the Wolverines made the finals, falling just short last season.

They're also the team that travels for the territorial championship.

This year's league had four teams and all four made the playoffs. If there were any surprises, it came in the form of Team Juice, who got out of the gate this season slowly.

SA国际影视传媒淭hey lost their first five games of the season,SA国际影视传媒� said Ohokanoak. SA国际影视传媒淭hey had a lot of injuries at the start but they had a good winning streak near the end and that helped them.SA国际影视传媒�

To help Team Juice out, all the team captains agreed to allow the team to add players to its roster.

SA国际影视传媒淲e had league nights and rec ball and there were some players in rec ball that weren't playing in the league,SA国际影视传媒� said Ohokanoak. SA国际影视传媒淲e asked them if they wanted to play and the team captains all said they would be OK with that.SA国际影视传媒�

Team Juice won the first game of the final but the Wolverines came back to win the next two and looked likely to win Game 4.

It wasn't meant to be as the Wolverines managed to hold on in Game 5 and snag the championship trophy.

This season featured better parity among the teams than last season, said Ohokanoak, as all four teams had close records and no one team ran away with everything as happened last season.

Ohokanoak confirmed there will be a third season of the association but he will not be president. He's decided to step back and let some other people take the reigns to grow what's been started.

SA国际影视传媒淭he foundation has been built,SA国际影视传媒� he said. SA国际影视传媒淚'd like to see someone step in and create some other roles within the association, such as stats and scheduling. I did all of that this past season so those are a couple of ways we can keep growing. I'd also like to see a refereeing schedule of some kind and maybe even a refereeing clinic here in the community so we can have more people certified to help out.SA国际影视传媒�
