The Halifax Windjammers were a franchise in the World Basketball League that began play in 1991. The team continued operation after the WBL folded in 1992, when they joined the newly formed National Basketball League. The NBL folded midway through the 1994 season, when the Windjammers were in first place. The team played their home games at the Halifax Metro Centre.
The most famous player to ever suit up for the 'Jammers was Keith Smart, who scored the game winning basket in the 1987 NCAA championship game. Milt Newton won the 1991 WBL Slam Dunk contest as a member of the Windjammers while Willie Bland led the league in rebounding in the same year (at 12.3 per game).[1]
Nova Scotian Kevin Veinot had also played on the Halifax Windjammers basketball team. He played post position and was very strong. He was one of the best players to ever play for the Halifax Windjammers. He was number 33.
The 'Jammers were coached by Ian MacMillan in 1991. Mickey Fox then took over, being their coach for the 1991 and 1992 seasons.
