The Osceola Magic are Eastern Conference Champions!

Our hometown team, the Osceola Magic G-League Basketball team, were crowned Eastern Conference Champions two weeks ago with a win over the Maine Celtics, 135-122.  This propelled them info the G-League Championships against Western Conference Champs the Stockton Kings.  After a 129-118 win over the Kings at Osceola Heritage Park on April 8, they suffered a loss at Game 2 of the Finals series in California.

Tonight, your Osceola Magic return home to host the winner-take-all Game 3 at 8:00 pm at Silver Spurs Arena! Perhaps you’ve had the opportunity to cheer on the Magic this year in person, met their mischievous mascot Swish out and about int he community, or heard about the team’s slam dunk champ Mac McClung? Your love has been felt and the Magic appreciate the energy the Osceola community has brought this season as they look forward to your support at THE CHAMPIONSHIP Game!  This is like the Super Bowl/U.S. Open/World Series, of the NBA G-League!!!

The Magic previously won the G-League championship in 2021 as the Lakeland Magic, but this will be first time they attempt to claim the title as the pride of Osceola!

As we prepare to cheer on the Magic in tonight’s final game, join is in a trip down memory lane of the Osceola Magic’s past two year’s in Osceola!

In 2024, the Chairman of The Osceola Chamber was Carlos Velez, Vice President of the Osceola Magic.  He and the team welcomed our board for a retreat during which they did valuable planning, spent some time on the court, and enjoyed a Magic win courtside.  They even posed with Swish and high-fived the team as they entered the arena.

Over the past few years, the Magic have been kind enough to host us at their offices for meetings, including these of our Innovation Committee and out Latino Referral Leads Group:

Groups like our Leadership Osceola Alumni and Joint Leads Groups have enjoyed hosting events at Magic games, and Leadership Osceola has made it a stop on their curriculum:

We have also enjoyed attending events with the Magic, including their Chamber Night and Opening Night, and attending games with our friends and families:

We also welcomed representatives from the Osceola Magic at our events, such as appearances by Swish at Viva Osceola and PoincianaFest and speaking engagements from Magic President Hans Steinbrenner.  Our Young Professionals and Coalitions Council were also honored to present President Steinbrenner with their Tomorrow’s Leaders Today Award in 2024.

We were honored to see local leaders tapped as “Game Changers” by the Magic include our own President/CEO John Newstreet, Vice President of Strategic Initiatives Sue Ring, and 2025 Chairman Tim Weisheyer:
