Sokolowski-USA TODAY Sports<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This preseason exhibition game will feature the Seattle Storm and Los Angeles Sparks, building off of the extremely successful event in Toronto last May.<\/p>\n<p id=\"JXCJlM\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swishappeal.com\/\">WNBA<\/a> and NBA Canada are teaming up for the second WNBA Canada Game, this time in Edmonton, Alberta. On Sunday May 5, 2024, the Los Angeles Sparks will take on the Seattle Storm in a preseason exhibition game at Rogers Place.<\/p>\n<p id=\"X6IBp7\">Last year, the WNBA held a preseason game between the Minnesota Lynx and Chicago Sky at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto. It was a wild success, with fans selling out the 19,000-seat arena in just minutes.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ChxIX7\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">THANK YOU CANADA   Over 19,000 in attendance  <\/p>\n<p>Y&#8217;all really showed up and showed out in our first <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/WNBA?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#WNBA<\/a> game in Toronto <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/XJtBFku241\">pic.twitter.com\/XJtBFku241<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 WNBA (@WNBA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WNBA\/status\/1657762702578814979?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 14, 2023<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"v1eUA7\">The entire weekend was filled with pop-ups, fun events, panels and art installments around the city, all celebrating the historic event. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/_shireenahmed_\/status\/1764793374156968063\">With recent news about the WNBA potentially expanding to Canada<\/a>, the league has decided to hold a second exhibition game in Canada.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Z1ucT7\">The choice to have the game in Edmonton presents an opportunity to highlight important women\u2019s basketball history. Canada\u2019s first formal professional basketball team was based out of Edmonton, called the Edmonton Commercial Graduates or the \u201cGrads.\u201d The Grads represented Canada at the 1924 Paris Olympic Games, since Canada Basketball did not have a designated women\u2019s program at that time. The Grads won gold in women\u2019s basketball at those games. To hold a game in Edmonton exactly 100 years after the first Edmonton professional women\u2019s basketball team made history at the Olympics seems fitting.<\/p>\n<div id=\"oB7nNN\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">From the Edmonton Grads, to players making a splash in the WNBA and NCAA, Canadians are an indispensable part of basketball history.<\/p>\n<p>In her debut piece, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/chelsealeite?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@chelsealeite<\/a> takes a deep dive into the legacy of Canadian Women in basketball   <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/aPNYXsSyPi\">https:\/\/t.co\/aPNYXsSyPi<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Winsidr (@Winsidr) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Winsidr\/status\/1640504174713372672?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 28, 2023<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"yOJkWv\">The Sparks have Canadian senior national team player Kia Nurse on their roster, who, along with the likes of Dearica Hamby and Layshia Clarendon, will serve as a veteran presence for a fiery young LA team. Los Angeles also owns the No. 2 and No. 4 overall draft picks in the 2024 WNBA Draft, allowing fans in Edmonton to be treated to some the league\u2019s newest, exciting talent. The Storm look like potential championship contenders, with Nneka Ogwumike and Skylar Diggins-Smith joining Jewell Loyd in Seattle.<\/p>\n<p id=\"q10UGT\">Tickets will go on sale to the general public on Mar. 20, but fans can sign up for presale access at <a href=\"http:\/\/wnbacanadagame.com\/\">WNBACanadaGame.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p id=\"tXv8a0\">This will be the second WNBA preseason game played in Canada, and fourth outside of the United States. The two others were in Manchester, England in 2011 and Monterrey, Mexico in 2004. WNBA viewership in Canada was up 32 percent in the 2023 season compared to 2022, and the preseason game in Toronto broke broadcast viewership records. <\/p>\n<p id=\"5ejyxZ\">Commissioner Cathy Engelbert expressed excitement about bringing the second WNBA Canada Game to fans, saying:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p id=\"e0YyJn\"><em>Fans, partners and communities across the country embraced the WNBA, setting records for viewership, merchandise sales and attendance, and we\u2019re looking forward to the opportunity to once again showcase our league in a city with a rich sporting legacy and indelible ties to basketball through the Edmonton Grads and Canadian Women\u2019s National Basketball Team.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p id=\"kmWtSP\">More information about the broadcast of the game will be announced at a later date.<\/p>\n\n<h2><b>Commercials Cooperation Advertisements:<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p><br>(1) IT Teacher IT Freelance<br> <\/p>\r\n<a href=https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress><img src=http:\/\/gamefootballmobileanimeiphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ITTeacherITFreelance-Website.png alt=IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 java\u88dc\u7fd2 \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2,IT freelance, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b, PHP\u88dc\u7fd2,CSS\u88dc\u7fd2,XML,Java\u88dc\u7fd2,MySQL\u88dc\u7fd2,graphic design\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e2d\u5c0f\u5b78ICT\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e00\u5c0d\u4e00\u79c1\u4eba\u88dc\u7fd2\u548cFreelance\u81ea\u7531\u5de5\u4f5c\u914d\u5c0d\u3002\/><\/a><p><a href=https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/findteacher>\u7acb\u523b\u8a3b\u518a\u53ca\u5831\u540d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2\u8ab2\u7a0b\u5427! <\/a><br>\r\n\r\n\u7535\u5b50\u8ba1\u7b97\u673a -\u6559\u80b2 -IT \u96fb\u8166\u73ed\u201d ( IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 ) \u63d0\u4f9b\u4e00\u500b\u65b9\u4fbf\u7684\u7535\u5b50\u8ba1\u7b97\u673a \u6559\u80b2\u5e73\u53f0, \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u4fe1\u606f\u6280\u672f, \u96fb\u8166 \u8001\u5e2b, IT freelance \u548c programming expert. \u8b93\u5927\u5bb6\u65b9\u4fbf\u5730\u5c31\u80fd\u627e\u5230\u5408\u9069\u7684\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2, \u96fb\u8166\u73ed, \u5bb6\u6559, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b.  <br>\r\n\r\nWe are a education and information platform which you can find a IT private tutorial teacher or freelance. <br>\r\n\r\nAlso we provide different information about information technology, Computer, programming, mobile, Android, apple, game, movie, anime, animation\u2026 \r\n<\/p>\n<p><br>(2) ITSec<br> <\/p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.vip><img src=http:\/\/gamefootballmobileanimeiphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ITSec-Main-Promotion-Image.png alt= https:\/\/itsec.vip\/\r\nSecure Your Computers from Cyber Threats and mitigate risks with professional services to defend Hackers.  \r\nITSec provide IT Security and Compliance Services, including IT Compliance Services, Risk Assessment, IT Audit, Security Assessment and Audit, ISO 27001 Consulting and Certification, GDPR Compliance Services, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), Penetration test, Ethical Hacking, Vulnerabilities scan, IT Consulting, Data Privacy Consulting, Data Protection Services, Information Security Consulting, Cyber Security Consulting, Network Security Audit, Security Awareness Training.\/><\/a> \r\n<br><br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.vip>www.ITSec.vip<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/sraa.com.hk>www.Sraa.com.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.hk>www.ITSec.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/penetrationtest.hk>www.Penetrationtest.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itseceu.uk>www.ITSeceu.uk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\nSecure Your Computers from Cyber Threats and mitigate risks with professional services to defend Hackers. <br><br>\r\nITSec provide IT Security and Compliance Services, including IT Compliance Services, Risk Assessment, IT Audit, Security Assessment and Audit, ISO 27001 Consulting and Certification, GDPR Compliance Services, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), Penetration test, Ethical Hacking, Vulnerabilities scan, IT Consulting, Data Privacy Consulting, Data Protection Services, Information Security Consulting, Cyber Security Consulting, Network Security Audit, Security Awareness Training. \r\n<br><br>Contact us right away. <br><br>Email (Prefer using email to contact us): <br>SalesExecutive@ITSec.vip<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n<p>        The Minnesota Lynx\u2019s Bridget Carleton speaks to the crowd before last year\u2019s preseason exhibition game in Toronto. | John E.
