Preseason
Following the end of the 2011-12 NBL Canada season, the NBL Canada awarded Windsor, Ontario a franchise, named the Windsor Express, for the 2012–13 season. With the addition of the Express, the NBL Canada incorporated two four-team divisions, the Central and the Atlantic.
Later in the preseason, the Quebec Kebs relocated to Laval, Quebec and were renamed the Laval Kebs. However, the Keb's ownership folded the team before the start of the 2012–13 season. The NBL Canada replaced the Kebs with a franchise in Montreal, Quebec, named the Montreal Jazz.
Draft
The 2012 NBL Canada draft was held August 27, 2012. The Windsor Express had the first pick and selected center Robert Curtis.
