Lightning Win Season Opener

The London Lightning opened their season with a 99-97 win over their 401 rivals, the Windsor Express.

After back-to-back championships, the Lightning were knocked out in the playoffs last year by the Express.

In addition to several new players, fan favourite Maurice "Mo" Bolden is back in the lineup under new coach, Carlos Knox. Bolden thinks they can be champs again with Knox at the helm.
