The BNZ Breakers are under new ownership. 

Kiwi-American attorney and businessman Marc Mitchell has taken majority ownership from Matt Walsh. 

The ownership group includes Kiwi businessmen Leon and Stephen Grice, their business partner Sean Colgan, along with former owners Liz and Paul Blackwell, and former Breaker and Tall Black Tom Abercrombie. 

Mitchell told Piney he saw the opportunity to continue to grow the sport, not only on the court, but also within the community. 

He says they’re trying to get back to their roots.
