After a far too long sabbatical, Canadians had a chance to catch up with an old friend this weekend, with the return of Canadian football to four fields as the 2021 season kicked off an unusual year, but one welcomed into the homes of football fans across the nation.
Having put this blog into hibernation for a lengthy period of time, we've caught some CFL fever and are just glad that the league survived the last year that we felt it time to give this venture a reboot and share some enthusiasm for our unique Canadian tradition.
As we move forward into this start of the season, we'll rebuild some of our archive pages and introduce new features, as we look to revise our work and celebrate the game that has shaped many of our memories over the years.
There are so many things to catch up on, and so many new faces to take note of that it will take some time time to get up to speed, but we're hopeful of building the blog back to hosting some original material to track this season all the way through the sweltering summer to the frigid days of Mid December that bring us the Grey Cup, the 108th edition to take place in Hamilton.
There's something about having been denied something for a lengthy period of time, to give one cause to remember how much you enjoyed it. With a year lost to reflect on the key moments of the past and the impact that the CFL has had on this nation for over a century.
The league which at times is venture that at times seems on thin ice, but one that remains a social compact for many of its communities and reminder of the importance it has held through the decades.
Having come through the last year of uncertainty, it remains a symbol of normalcy for a nation that is looking for the familiar themes of the past.
As Joni Mitchell might put it ...
Don't it always seem to go
