Franchise history

Creation and inaugural season

The franchise was established in 2021 as an ABA expansion team, headed by Tony Kenny, President of 2001 Investments Limited; and coached by Jerry Williams.[2] The team competes in the Basketball League (TBL).

The team signed a five-year lease to play their homes games at the Mary Brown's Centre in downtown St. John's. Their first game, as part of the ABA's 2021–22 season, took place on November 27 against the New York State's Elmira Eagles, a fellow member of the league's Northeast Division.[3] The Rogues started the season on an unbeaten streak of six matches,[4]. On January 7, 2022 Tony Kenny announced that the next three series were postponed due to enhanced COVID-19 travel restrictions related to the emergence of the Omicron variant.[5]

On September 15, 2022, Tony Kenny announced that the team would leave the ABA and join The Basketball League for the 2023 season.[6]

On April, the team announced it would be joining the BSL for the 2023 season.
