They say when you finish the combine you’ll never have to run another 40-yard dash in your life. While that might be true in the traditional sense, there is no training camp in sports quite as expedient as the Canadian football League. CFL training camps are a time to sift through rosters of players acquired

For many CFL players, that hasn’t been an issue through most of their lives, but the world of fantasy football can be an equalizer in that way. With a small roster — a quarterback, two receivers, two running backs, a flex

Hello, Neil McEvoy. Congratulations on your incredibly electrifying 40-yard dash victory over assistant general manager Ryan Rigmaiden at BC Lions camp. Haven’t seen speed like that since my brother and I simultaneously spied the last butter tart (with raisins) on a table across the room. But, hey…did I see a little contact there near the

There comes a point in training camp where the players get sick of staring into the same faces in practice. One week of camp is usually all it takes. Every year, in just about every camp across the country we see the same things. We’re seeing them now. You’ll read tweets about things getting heated

Where does the time go? It seems like it was just yesterday that the Hamilton Tiger-Cats were poaching as many Toronto Argonauts defensive linemen as they could. Wasn’t just a finger snap ago that Ottawa took a big swing trading for Dru Brown or everyone was going nuts that Daniel Okpoko fell to the REDBLACKS

TORONTO — We’re less than a week away from players hitting the field for the first preseason game. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers travel to Regina to face the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Monday, May 20, signalling football is back in Canada. That means training camps are full go everywhere around the country, with players battling for

Four straight trips to the Grey Cup. Three straight first place finishes in the West Division. An established winning culture. A core group chock full of Hall of Famers. This is what the Winnipeg Blue Bombers have built over the last five-plus years. And as such, the Blue Bombers enter 2024 with the highest of

The most intriguing player in the CFL sat in a vast ballroom at the Sheraton Hotel in Hamilton last month, wearing a loose-fitting Edmonton Elks sweatsuit. Tre Ford making up one of the two people in this almost cavernous space felt appropriate. Arguably the most creative and fastest-thinking-on-his-feet quarterback in the league, Ford likely won’t

As the 2024 season approaches, each team has a question that looms over it that will shape its season. CFL.ca asked players across the league about that question.
