A few rule changes along the way for 2015

As the CFL kicks off the 2015 season, long time followers will be noticing a few changes in the rules for the year ahead, designed to bring a bit more offence to the game and reward the risk takers.

Most noticeable will be the impact on the kicking game, with convert attempts now shifted twenty yards back, making for a thirty two yard attempt, perhaps changing the automatic nature of the extra point and giving head coaches to instead give the two point version a shot, that attempt now to start closer to the goal line.

A few of the other more interesting twists to the rules could open up the offensive play quite significantly as well.

Changes for linemen on punts could see an increase is some spectacular kick returns as more space appears for kick return specialists.

Defensive Backs will have to mind their hands, with an expansion on the illegal contact rules could see an increase in pass interference and contact calls down field.

The CFL's introduction to the new rules can be found below:

For the most part, those that cover the CFL for radio, TV, print and other media options are finding that there is much to like about the rule book makeover.

CFL -- Week One -- Time for Kickoff


We're shaking off the cobwebs and dusting the corners of the blog, making ready for another year of the CFL, with the always hopeful note of keeping our momentum up beyond the Labour Day classics.

Something we admit that at times we haven't been very good at delivering on, but at the start of the season hope springs eternal and with a renewed commitment we're determined to see the season to the very end.

Training camps have wrapped up, the final cuts made and the rosters set, with a few potential additions hidden off on the taxi squads awaiting a chance to show their stuff for CFL crowds sometime in the future.

A few new rules to jazz things up for 2015 will have us (and most likely one or two coaches along the way) scratching heads for the first few weeks, while everyone settles in for the long march to November.

There's some room for optimism for the CFL this season, the new stadiums of Winnipeg, Hamilton and Ottawa head into their second year of operation (a little newer in the case of Hamilton) and the Toronto situation once again seems to be settled for now, though there remains work on a long term fix for the Argos and a football home.

For the head office, the 2015 season gets underway with Canadians love of the three down game still a strong affection, while hockey continues to be the passion for many, the CFL still claims the heart holding a strong grasp on the second spot of sports that Canadian follow.

After a long winter, the first game of the regular season brings on summer and with it fall, the two season spread that takes us to Grey Cup Sunday in late November.

Before we get there though, there's going to be a lot of football to follow, lets get to it...

The full schedule for the 2015 season can be found here.
