Taranaki Mountain Airs
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Taranaki Mountain Airs are a basketball team that compete in the New Zealand National Basketball League .
They play their home games at TSB Stadium in New Plymouth, New Zealand. They have formerly been called the Taranaki Bears (1994-98) and Taranaki Oilers (1999). Due to a lack of financial funds they did not compete in the NZ NBL from 2000-2002 . In 2003 they were readmitted to the league and took on the nickname " Mountain Airs" , after a "name the team " competition was held to determine their new name. This nickname choice was obviously in reference to Mount Taranaki, one of New Zealand's largest and well-known mountains .
