The CFLs return to play will be missing a few familiar faces.The Hamilton Tiger-Cats will visit the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Thursday night to kick off the 21 season. It will mark the leagues . . .

There has probably not been any season like the 2021 that is about to kick off on Thursday night. So far the season, at least in Saskatchewan and probably the rest of the league to varying extents, is the season of the Torn Achilles. The Riders had the tough luck to have four torn Achilles in 15 minutes at a practice before regular camp began, but other teams have also suffered a spate of Achilles. All of this points to the problems of trying to maintain a fitness regime for 18 months in the mi...

That defeat tarnished a stellar 19 campaign for Hamilton. The Ticats won a franchise-record 15 regular-season games while Lawrence was named the East Divisions top defensive player (league-high 98 tackles) and Steinauer the CFLs coach of the year. And with Hamilton returning most of the players that led the franchise in 2019, many have the Ticats finishing atop the East and contending for the Grey Cup again. Capping the 21 season with the teams first championship since 1999 would be huge consid...

Hamilton took the former Boston College tight end No. 1 in the 21 CFL draft, making Burt the first tight end taken first overall since 1989. Although the position has pretty much disappeared from league offences, Ticats offensive co-ordinator Tommy Condell plans to play the six-foot-four, 245-p...

This weeks big questions What is the go with RTS and Walsh? Will they really play the big money man RTS on the wing for the rest of the season or will Walsh spend time in the halves? Either way, is Walsh worth buying? From Mark Konkers This question came in before Reece Walsh was named at five-eighth in Tuesdays team lists, which answered the first part of the question. Roger Tuivasa-Sheck is named at fullback this week, and he and Walsh may split their time between fullback, five-eighth, and d...

VANCOUVER — When it finally became clear that Bryan Burnham would, in fact, return to the B.C. Lions, the star receiver made an important video call. He knew Mike Reilly, the teams marquee . . .

"No doubt about it, that (return to Hamilton) was always how I felt," Masoli said during a telephone interview. "I never felt like there was any pressure or a rush on anything." Masoli, 32, started Hamiltons first six games in 2019 before suffering a season-ending knee injury. Backup Dane Evans then guided the Ticats to the Grey Cup game, which the Winnipeg Blue Bombers won 33-12. The CFL didnt play in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The league is eyeing a return this year with the 21 Grey C...
