Celebrating 50 Years of Alberta Basketball

1975-2025 | Honouring the Past, Building the Future

A Golden Legacy

The Alberta Basketball Association (ABA) is proud to celebrate 50 years of basketball excellence in our province. From grassroots to greatness, generations of Albertans have helped build a powerful legacy—one we honour this year with a series of province-wide events, community initiatives, and the unveiling of the Alberta Basketball Hall of Fame.

“Basketball is woven into the fabric of our province, the 50th anniversary is about honouring those who paved the way, while laying foundations for the future.”
— Dave Drabiuk, ABA Executive Director
