Draft Day set to dawn for CFL teams
The nature of those calls could be an update on how they fared as the eight member teams of the Canadian Football League gathered on Sunday morning to make their selections in the 2011 draft.
With six rounds of player selection, the draft provides an opportunity for each team to build up depth, or fill in missing pieces from the season past.
Winnipeg has the first pick of the day, while the defending Grey Cup champion Montreal Alouettes will be selecting eighth in the first round.
Though finding the right Canadian players can sometimes be the difference between a winning a losing season, such is the currency of the Canadian player in the CFL these days.
TSN will provide live coverage of the morning's proceedings, (12:30 ET, 9:30 AM PT) another step in that networks comprehensive CFL coverage. In years past the CFL draft has not gained much in attention, more of a conference call than anything else, but as the league's presence has grown on TSN, so has the focus on such things as the draft.
While not quite yet near the status of the NFL draft of last month, nor of the NHL's June extravaganza, the opportunity to start the CFL season off with a look at where each franchise feels it needs some help is just what Canadian Football fans need to kick start the upcoming season.
With training camps set to open later this month and the Canada Day weekend regular season kick off not too far off in the distance, the draft signals the unofficial start of another year of Canadian football.
The CFL home page has an outline of the draft day proceedings, including the latest list of potential picks for 2011, as well as a tracker page for the days events.
The CIS has set up a page on their home page as well, eager to trumpet the success of their graduating class of football players for 2011.
The TSN home page also has a wide variety of draft day information.
Below some of the items of note we have come across regarding this years draft, our primer, or pre draft preview of sorts as to what may come to pass as the draft moves forward on Sunday.
