More Toronto Raptors Information

The Raptors are coached by first time head coach Kevin O'Neil. O'Neil had three seasons as an assistant coach where he established a reputation as a defensive specialist. He hopes to bring a winning defensive attitude north of the border to help the Raptors continue to improve. The cornerstone of the Raptors franchise is perennial All-Star, and slam-dunk artist Vince Carter. Carter provides Raptor's ticket holders a constant source of excitement. The Raptors are fortunate to have good talent, young and veteran, surrounding Carter. Versatile point guard Jalen Rose can score at anytime as can his young backcourt mate Morris Peterson. Talented, young left-handed forward Chris Bosh is a scoring threat both inside and out. He is part of a solid front court when teamed with bulky Lonnie Baxter and Donyell Marshall.

The Raptors play their home basketball games in the new Air Canada Centre. The Air Canada Centre is located in the heart of downtown, nestled between Union Station and the Gardiner Expressway. You can always count on a complete entertainment experience when you attend a Raptors game at Air Canada Centre. From before the opening tip to after the final horn, the action never stops with music, dancing, acclaimed halftime performances and, of course, The Raptor. The Raptor is the most recognizable mascot in all of Canada. It is known for its high flying basketball theatrics.
