Following a trip to the 2025 CEBL Championship Weekend semifinals, the Sea Bears enter Season 4 under new Head Coach and General Manager Mike Raimbault, a longtime Manitoba basketball leader and current University of Winnipeg Wesmen head coach. Raimbault takes the lead on a franchise that has quickly become one of the league’s premier organizations both on the court and at the gate since joining the CEBL in 2023.
The 2026 roster blends experienced professional talent, returning fan favourites, high-level imports, and a strong Manitoba presence. Returning stars include Teddy Allen, Emmanuel Akot, Nathan Bilamu, and Simon Hildebrandt, while major additions include CEBL superstar Xavier Moon, veteran forward Kevin Cross Jr., dynamic scorer Davion Warren, and former NBA G League and international standout David Walker.
The Sea Bears have continued to prioritize Manitoba talent throughout the offseason with Winnipeg products Kyler Filewich and Mason Kraus, joining Hildebrandt and Akot, all earning roster spots heading into the season. Filewich returns following his first professional season overseas after beginning his pro career with the Sea Bears in 2025, while Hildebrandt returns to his hometown club after continuing to establish himself as one of the top young Canadian players in the country.
The Winnipeg Sea Bears will also enter the 2026 season with an entirely revamped coaching staff led by newly appointed Head Coach and General Manager Mike Raimbault, one of the most respected basketball leaders in Manitoba. Raimbault is joined by a diverse and experienced coaching group that blends professional, collegiate, and player development backgrounds. Former Sea Bears player Alex Campbell takes on the role of Lead Assistant Coach and Assistant General Manager after previously serving as a player and leader within the organization. Jeremy Wielenga, Ilarion Bonhomme, and Steven Wesley round out the staff as assistant coaches, bringing additional experience in high-performance training, skill development, and professional basketball systems. Together, the staff reflects the organization’s commitment to building a strong basketball culture while continuing to strengthen connections to Manitoba’s growing basketball community.
