We've been working hard all winter to make improvements and we're looking forward to starting today. >> Reporter: what have you done to avoid what could be called the sophomore slump? >> Well, we talked about that over the winter and we felt we've made some improvements in our basketball team.

We just want to get a few games under our belt, win some games, and go from there. >> Reporter: the team is going to host championship weekend. It's pretty early in the season to be thinking about that, but what do you think about it being held here in winnipeg? >> I think they saw that the fans here are amazing. We put forward a bid together with tourism winnipeg, showcasing everything that winnipeg has to offer beyond a great venue and a great basketball set of fans. I think it showcases what we've been telling the league for years, and that's winnipeg is an amazing place, and I think we're going to show them what it's like for basketball. >> Reporter: what is it like now that the sea bears are back for basketball? >> It's been a long winter, so it's exciting they're back. We went out a little bit unceremoniously by losing in the playoffs but we're excited to be back here. >> Reporter: jason, I'm going to let you go.
