Ahmed Hill became the first player in Canadian Elite Basketball League history to surpass 1,500 career points on Saturday [1].
The milestone marks a significant individual achievement in the league's history, highlighting Hill's longevity and scoring consistency within the professional circuit.
Playing for the Niagara River Lions, Hill reached the 1,500-point plateau [1] during a regular-season matchup against the Montreal Alliance in Montreal, Quebec. The River Lions secured a victory in the contest, which took place on June 13, 2026 [2].
The game was part of the 2026 CEBL season schedule [2]. Hill's performance served as the centerpiece of the evening, as he entered the record books while leading his team to a win on the road.
League observers said that the achievement sets a new benchmark for offensive production in the CEBL. The victory for Niagara further solidifies their standing as they navigate the current season's competitive landscape.
Footage of the encounter, including the moment Hill surpassed the mark, was released in a condensed game highlight video [2]. The recording captures the key plays and the scoring sequence that led to the historic total [2].
While the Montreal Alliance hosted the event, they were unable to stop the River Lions' offensive momentum. The result leaves the Alliance searching for consistency in their home arena, while the River Lions capitalize on the momentum of Hill's milestone.
