1946-47 New England Basketball League (NEBL)

Basketball interest in New England was strong, with the New England League and the Eastern League in Connecticut competing for a lot of the same players and fans.  Fielding 7 teams, the NEBL saw a very competitive race between Fitchburg and Hartford. Fitchburg would win the regular season by a single game over Hartford, a sizable margin ahead of the third place team in New Britain. Worcester would finish fourth, finalizing the round-robin tournament to determine the champion. New Britain, who stumbled by dropping 5 of their last seven in the regular season, caught fire in the round robin, winning their first 6 and cruising to the crown.

  • Hartford Pros
  • Manchester British Americans
  • Nashua Picadillys / New Britain Newfields
  • Salem Witches / Lynn Americans
  • Worcester Irish Americans
