Football Is Back: Training Camp kicks off across the country

Stampeders.com

TORONTO — The off-season is officially over with CFL teams across the country hitting the field on Thursday to kick off training camp.

Rookie and vets alike got together for the opening of camp, as everyone began preparation for the pre-season games next weekend and the upcoming 2022 campaign.

While there were of course some familiar faces in each market, there were also off-season additions getting acquainted with their new teammates and new colours.

In Winnipeg, fans got their first look at receiver Greg Ellingson in Blue Bombers gear while Toronto fans set their eyes on running back Andrew Harris and receiver Brandon Banks in the Double Blue.
