The CFL is breaking with 17 years of tradition and moving its biggest off-season event, the national players’ combine, west to Saskatchewan.
The league will host the combine, part of the CFL Week event, from March 20-26 in Regina. The combine has been held in Toronto since 2000.
CFL commissioner Jeffrey Orridge and Saskatchewan Roughriders CEO Craig Reynolds made the announcement Tuesday afternoon from the central prairie city.
The three-day player showcase has previously seen the likes of defensive back Tevaughn Campbell (in his second CFL season) and defensive lineman Justin Capiciotti (in his fifth).
The combine allows Canadian players to show off their athletic and football-specific skills to the league’s coaches in hopes of landing a roster spot on one of the league’s nine teams.
