Toronto Tornados Crewneck Sweatshirt

The Toronto Tornados, based in Toronto, Ontario, played in the Continental Basketball Association from 1983 to 1985 at Varsity Arena. Ted Stepien bought the franchise in May 1983, and Gerald Oliver coached it for its two Toronto seasons.

They went 16-28 in 1983-84, then 26-22 the next year to take the last playoff spot. Oliver was fired just before the first playoff game, and Toronto lost 3-2 to the Albany Patroons, coached by Phil Jackson. Attendance averaged 1,224 in the first year and 850 in the second, and Stepien put his losses at about $700,000. Early in 1985-86 he moved the team to Pensacola, Florida.
