June was a month to remember on the hardwood, filled with energy, emotion, and elite-level talent from across Canada. From the fast-paced action of the Hoopville Tournament in Montreal to the electric atmosphere of the Rising Stars All-Star Game, the month delivered some unforgettable moments—and we were there to capture it all. This post showcases some of our best sports photography from June, highlighting the grit, passion, and raw talent on display.
The Hoopville Tournament brought together rising teams from the Montreal circuit, each one fighting for a spot at the top. The competition was fierce, with intense battles, buzzer-beaters, and breakout performances. Our lens was focused on the emotion behind every possession—on the sweat, the hustle, and the sideline stories that define summer hoops in the city.
Meanwhile, the Rising Stars All-Star Game served as a cross-province showcase of the best high school talent from Quebec and Ontario. Played with the intensity of a championship game and the swagger of a streetball showdown, this event was more than just an exhibition—it was a statement. The players came ready to prove themselves, and the energy in the gym was off the charts.
In this gallery, we’ve pulled together some of our favorite shots from both events. From powerful dunks to quiet moments of focus, each image tells a story and reflects the heart of Canadian grassroots basketball. Whether you were in the gym or watching from afar, these photos will take you right into the action.
