💙 Honouring Chad Posthumus

This year’s event has been renamed in memory of Chad Posthumus, a proud Winnipegger and Winnipeg Sea Bears star who passed away on November 20, 2024, at the age of 33.

Chad’s impact on the court and in the community was immeasurable. His dedication, leadership, and love for the game continue to inspire the next generation of players.

The Posthumus Family Hoopfest is our way of celebrating that legacy — a day to come together, play hard, and share the joy that basketball brings to all of us.

We invite all WMBA players, coaches, and families to take part in this free community event. Come out to learn, connect, and honour one of Winnipeg’s own.
