Bankruptcy

On July 6, 2015, over one month after forfeiting the 2015 NBL Canada Finals, the Rainmen filed for bankruptcy. In a release, owner Andre Levingston said, "While it's disappointing to see this chapter end, I can hold my head high knowing that we did everything we could have done. I love this game and I love this city." It was later announced that the team would have new ownership, although it was unclear whether the nickname would remain the same.
