"Kia Nurse of Hamilton, Ont., a seven-year WNBA veteran who signed on as the Tempo's first Canadian player, said she and her teammates are "very excited" to make more hoop history in Canada, starting tonight."
"The league's first Canadian team, which took part in its inaugural expansion draft earlier this month, will compete this season in the seven-team Eastern Conference and will be coached by Sandy Brondello."
Toronto Tempo will play their first WNBA pre-season game against the Connecticut Sun at Coca-Cola Coliseum. The Sun had a disappointing previous season, finishing 11th with an 11-33 record.
