History

Founded in Winter of 2014 by former professional basketball player Tamara Moore, the Minnesota Flame organization features a men's and women's minor league team. The teams are scheduled to begin play in the new World All-Star Basketball League (WABL) in the Fall of 2015. An exhibition season began in January 2015 through April.

On January 24, 2015, the Flame played their first-ever exhibition game, defeating the Minnesota Rangers 110–79.[1] Four days later the team traveled to Las Vegas to face the Las Vegas Flames[2] of the American Basketball Association. The Flame again came away on top, defeating Las Vegas 60–56.
