More training camp, practices cancelled as CFL strike continues

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats cancelled a second day of training-camp practices Monday as the CFL players’ strike entered its second day.

Talks between the CFL and CFL Players’ Association broke off Saturday, hours before the collective bargaining agreement was set to expire.

Players on seven of the league’s nine teams were in a legal strike position at 12:01 a.m. ET on Sunday.

Both the Calgary Stampeders and Edmonton Elks opened camp as scheduled Sunday.

Their players won’t be in a legal strike position until later this week, as per Alberta’s labour laws.
