For a town that’s equated with pro football excellence, the city of Canton has welcomed pro hoops to central Stark County with open arms. And Canton’s first pro squad – the NBA G League’s Canton Charge – has appreciated that embrace since the moment they tipped off their inaugural season within the Canton Memorial Civic Center. It’s not as if Canton hasn’t seen its share of exciting roundball at the Civic Center. For years, fans have watched several future pros – including a few future Cavaliers – cut their teeth in the high school playoffs. “Every year I visit the Civic Center to watch several Sectional and District OHSAA playoff games, and I’m always amazed by how many of these local stars experience success at the college and professional level,” observed former Mayor William Healy. “Former NBA stars, Nick Weatherspoon, , Phil Hubbard, Keith McLeod and Eric Snow all called Canton their hometown, so we are no stranger to professional basketball.” Keith McLeod, the first-ever player signed by the Charge before their inaugural season, played his share of big games at the Civic Center. The Canton-McKinley grad eventually moved on to win Player of the Year honors in the M.A.C. with Bowling Green, and played for four NBA teams before returning home. He recalled a big game against Jackson High at the Civic Center – avenging McKinley’s only home loss of the season. And now, some of those same hoops fans will see the Charge’s new combo-guard once again. “Around here, that’s all I’m hearing is people saying, ‘I can’t wait to get to a game,’” beamed McLeod. “I think it’s going to be real nice, and I think everybody around here is excited to see what it’s going to be like.” The Civic Center, built in 1951, has hosted – and continues to host – more than just basketball. The Canton Invaders played indoor soccer there for 13 years and the Canton Legends indoor football played there for three. Several WWE Live Events have been held at the Civic Center, and the venue hosted an MMA event just two nights before a Charge opener. The 3,942-seat arena has also welcomed some of the biggest names in entertainment and politics. Comedians Jeff Dunham and Eddie Griffin have performed there recently and legends like have done so in the past. And naturally, the Globetrotters make an annual stop. Rudy Giuliani and George W. Bush have spoken at the Civic Center, as has Donald Trump, who set a Canton Civic Center attendance record in 2016. Of course, before becoming the everyday home of a professional basketball team, the Civic Center appreciated some updates and renovations. The Cavaliers organization rolled up their sleeves to get them done in short order. While the Civic Center retains the special character of a proud and experienced basketball venue, several updates and a couple renovations have also readied it for the next phase of its service as home to a new pro team. A new pro-style maple court and extension baskets from Spalding were installed. The overhead lighting grid was also increased and improved. Plus, other lighting effects and physical updates in the seating area were added that will certainly create an updated look and feel to the game environment, while maintaining the great old-school vibe and closeness to the game . The fan experience at the Civic Center was also considered, and floor seating, court boxes and a VIP area were added. Cavaliers Vice President of Facility Operations, Antony Bonavita ran the point for most of the improvements. “We focus on great fan experiences (at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse) and we wanted to create a platform for that in Canton,” said Bonavita. “Similar to our Cavaliers product, we wanted to make sure that people recognize that what you see at RMFH – obviously to a different degree – is what you’re going to experience with the Canton Charge.” The Charge players are also pleased with the renovations – which began two months prior to the season and wrapped up in time for opening tipoff. Improvements included a renovated locker room with shower heads that were adjusted for potential 6-9 power forwards. The Civic Center is where the Charge unveiled the finished product on November 25, 2011, but before they could take the (new) floor, they needed a place to hone their skills.

And in late September of 2011, the Cavaliers and Charge settled on the spacious Edgewood Community Center as the team’s official practice and training facility.

Edgewood Community Center has been open to the public since March 2007, with the goal of enriching the community’s physical, emotional and spiritual health – from children to seniors – through fitness, sports, arts, recreation and wellness. This year, the court was configured into a regulation NBA court.

It had to be stripped down – which was a process lasting almost four weeks. It was also an 84-foot court that had to be extended to 94 feet. Lines were painted, a shot clock installed and coaches offices were retrofitted.

ECC is not only where the squad practices, it’s where a good portion of it is assembled. The facility hosts the team’s NBA G League Draft party. Media, Cavaliers and Charge staff – along with season ticket holders – watch the selections unfold in real time.

Canton’s G League hoopsters are a long way from basketball’s Hall of Fame. But as Confucius said: The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
