The Huskies will compete in the New Zealand National Basketball League (NBL) and will split their home games between multiple locations in the north and south of Tasmania starting from the 2019 season. Franchise historyHobart Chargers and Australian NBL hopesIn 2016, sights were set on an Australian NBL franchise returning to Tasmania,[1] with the state having no representation in the national league since the demise of the Hobart Devils in 1996. Former Tasmanian premier David Bartlett became the president of the Hobart Chargers, a fledgling SEABL club in dire financial strain.[1] Bartlett's immediate aim was to have the club be "NBL ready" in three years and win least one championship over those three years.[2] Additionally, he secured a deal which saw basketball in Hobart return to its spiritual home, the Derwent Entertainment Centre.[3] For more than a decade, the Chargers had played at the Hobart Netball and Sports Centre.[4] Bartlett also had a vision of averaging 3,000 fans for SEABL matches.[3] In 2018, basketball was considered on the rise in Tasmania, with the popularity of the sport hitting peak interest for the first time since the 1990s during the halcyon days of the Hobart Devils.[5] In July, 3,000 fans turned out to watch the state's four SEABL teams do battle in a double header at the Derwent Entertainment Centre.[5] Then in August, the Chargers men's team won the SEABL championship.[6] Getting the Chargers out of debt was one thing but leveraging the club's transformation into a fully fledged bid for a Tasmanian NBL team was another.[5] Around that two-month period of July and August 2018, plans to get the Chargers into the NBL morphed into an overarching Tasmanian bid for a proposed new franchise to be called Southern Huskies.[5] The NBL bid and its NBA-style branding was well received upon being unveiled, with born-and-bred Tasmanian, and former Devils player, Justin Hickey deciding to back the team financially as franchise owner.[5] At the crux of his proposal was the Derwent Entertainment Centre, having made an unsolicited bid to buy the arena and renovate it.[5] The Huskies bid for an Australian NBL licence was delayed in October, when Hickey's bid to acquire the Derwent Entertainment Centre was rejected.[7] Furthermore, the league believed there were several hurdles to Tasmania's bid, including the potentially small television audience and the expensive cost of broadcasting games, as well as the lack of local corporate sponsorship opportunities.[8] As a result, the Australian NBL licence for the 2019–20 season instead went to the South East Melbourne Phoenix.[9] New Zealand NBLIn November 2018, reports began to surface that the Southern Huskies would be entering the New Zealand NBL in 2019, with the Huskies viewing the New Zealand league as a launch pad to the Australian NBL and the stronger competition more appealing than the various Australian state leagues.[9][10][11] The inclusion, while an exciting one for the New Zealand league, did present a number of unprecedented challenges for the competition, with flights to Tasmania problematic for New Zealand's less financially well-off franchises, while double or triple-headers on New Zealand trips for the Huskies were a looming issue.[9] Despite these concerns, NBL chairman Iain Potter said the move had the support of the existing eight franchises.[10] On 5 December 2018, a five-year contract was signed between the New Zealand NBL and the Southern Huskies,[12] marking the first time in New Zealand sporting history that an overseas team has joined a New Zealand owned league.[13] The 2019 season will see each New Zealand team visit Hobart to play the Huskies at least once, while the Huskies will play every New Zealand team in New Zealand as well, playing double-headers each time they cross the Tasman. As part of the agreement, the Huskies will assist with the cost for New Zealand teams to travel to Tasmania to play, with the NBL Board not wanting to increase the New Zealand teams' expenses through this move.[14] The Huskies unveiled their inclusion into the league with three initial roster signings, including Harry Froling and Mason Bragg, as well as former Australian NBL player Anthony Stewart as coach.[7] The Huskies' nine home games in 2019 will be split between multiple locations in the north and south of Tasmania,[7] with the Silverdome and Derwent Entertainment Centre the likely venues.[15] NBL1On 17 December 2018, following the Hobart Chargers' decision to withdraw from the Victorian-managed NBL1, an affiliate program known as the Hobart Huskies was entered into the NBL1 by the Southern Huskies organisation.[16] Current roster{{Basketball roster nationality note}} {{Basketball roster header|wt=n|age=n| team=Southern Huskies | color1=#218C76 | bg1=#090B43 | color2=#218C76 | bg2=#090B43}}{{player3 | pos = G | num = 3 | nat = USA | first = Tre | last = Nichols | m = 1.80 | kgs = 77 | note = I }}{{player3 | pos = F/C | num = | nat = USA | first = Jalen | last = Billups | m = 1.98 | kgs = 102 | note = I }}{{player3 | pos = G | num = | nat = AUS | first = Mason | last = Bragg | m = 1.83 | kgs = 81 }}{{player3 | pos = G | num = | nat = AUS | first = Tiri | last = Masunda | m = 1.85 | kgs = }}{{player3 | pos = G/F | num = | nat = USA | first = Bryan | last = Michaels | m = 1.90 | kgs = }}{{player3 | pos = G/F | num = | nat = SSD | first = Mathiang | last = Muo | m = 1.96 | kgs = 95 | note = I }}{{player3 | pos = G/F | num = | nat = AUS | first = BJ | last = Radcliffe | m = 1.90 | kgs = }}{{Basketball roster footer | head_coach =
