History

In 2018, they began their history as a franchise under the name Industriales de la Laguna, competing in the Liga de Básquetbol Estatal de Chihuahua. They initially played in Gómez Palacio at the Gimnasio Auditorio Centenario, but later moved to Torreón to the Auditorio Municipal de Torreón for a period of time. For the 2021 season, they changed their name to Toros de Torreón. Toros Laguna is the name of the franchise that was created starting in 2022 and participated in the 2023 season of the Liga de Básquetbol Estatal de Chihuahua, becoming part of a new era in the history of professional basketball in La Laguna.[3] In 2023 Facundo Murías signed as head coach of the team.[4] After seven years playing in the Liga de Básquetbol Estatal de Chihuahua, where they won a championship in 2023, the management of the La Laguna team took a new direction by joining the CIBACOPA for the 2026 season.[5]
