The Adidas All-Canadian Basketball Game was an annual all-star game sponsored by Adidas that featured the top Canadian high school basketball prospects. The first annual event was held in May 2004 at the Hershey Centre in Mississauga.[1]
The top 50 Canadian senior-level high school basketball players were nominated for the event. The initial list was gathered by the Canadian Sports and Media Group and experts from across the country, including college, university and high school coaches, media members, provincial sports organizations and general high school basketball experts. In addition, every major basketball publication in Canada was reviewed.[2] The top 20 players were selected as finalists to play in the national high school all-star basketball game. The selection committee also determined the game's final lineups after they narrowed the top 50 list to twenty names.[3]
