How Did the Toronto Tempo Get Their Name?
The Tempo’s name was selected through the “Name Your Team” campaign, which included more than 1,000 unique names.

In a press release, when the name was announced, Teresa Resch said, “Tempo is pace. It’s speed. It’s a heartbeat. And it’s what you feel when you step into the streets of this city, and in the energy of the people who call Canada home.
“As Canada’s WNBA team, I know the Tempo will set our own pace, move at a championship cadence, and inspire people across this country.”
