Mitch Creek may never play a CEBL game again, but the Vancouver Bandits forward’s season still finished on a high note, taking home MVP honours at the 2025 CEBL Awards, hosted in downtown Winnipeg on Thursday.

Creek ended his 2025 season with a touch of controversy last Saturday after his squad was knocked out in the semifinals against the Calgary Surge.
