Inaugural Phoenix Cup Tips Off February 4
Peterborough, ON – (January 29, 2026) – The inaugural Phoenix Cup promises local basketball fans a day of high school and college basketball excitement featuring local rivalries and a unique family matchup.
Everyone is invited to come out to the Peterborough Sport and Wellness Centre on Wednesday, February 4 to be a part of the celebration of local basketball talent featuring junior and senior high school games. These games will be followed by a Fleming Phoenix varsity basketball showdown to close out the night.
The Cup begins with a junior boys matchup at 3:30 p.m., as Crestwood Secondary School takes on Holy Cross Catholic Secondary School. The action continues at 5 p.m. when the senior boys’ teams from Crestwood and Holy Cross face off.
The event wraps up with a game between the Fleming Phoenix varsity men’s basketball team and the Durham Lords at 8 p.m.
Adding to the day is a unique family connection: Fleming Phoenix player Owen Wisman will be cheering on two relatives playing in the earlier games – his younger brother Oscar Wisman, who plays for Crestwood, and his cousin Ryan Malloy, who is on the Holy Cross team. The two will go head-to-head during the Phoenix Cup before Owen takes the court later that night with the Phoenix.
The inaugural Phoenix Cup is designed to bring the community together through sport while highlighting the depth of talent across local high school and varsity programs. This inaugural event launches what Fleming plans to become an annual event in partnership with local high schools, with future events to include male and female competitions across multiple sports.
