Football (CFL)

GUELPH — Even by football standards, Anim Dankwah stands out. At six foot eight and 350 pounds, the Toronto Argonauts' rookie offensive lineman isn't hard to find, on or off the football field. Surprisingly, though, the native of Brampton, Ont.

EDMONTON — There was a time, ages ago, when fans in Commonwealth Stadium rose and roared in unison as Henry (Gizmo) Williams picked his way through a horde of defenders to return another kick for another touchdown.

HAMILTON — Jamal Peters and DaShaun Amos are together again. The veteran defensive backs reunited this off-season when Amos signed with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. They were 2022 Grey Cup champions with the Toronto Argonauts.

LANGFORD — Running backs Ludovick Choquette and Tiyon Evans each had touchdowns, and the defence recorded three sacks as the Calgary Stampeders opened the CFL pre-season schedule with a 26-16 victory over the B.C.

USA Football has selected its national flag football teams for this season only. What those rosters — more specifically, the men's squad — might look like before the sport makes its Olympic debut at the 2028 Los Angeles Games remains unknown.

KAMLOOPS — Anu Una has imagined what it would be like to be in the B.C. Lions' starting lineup come the team's season opener next month. Getting into two games last year simply made the Canadian offensive lineman hungrier to clinch a permanent spot.

CFLPA president Solomon Elimimian is among those supporting CFL players participating in the 2028 Los Angeles Summer Games. Flag football will make its Olympic debut in L.A.

SAINT-JÉRÔME — Davis Alexander's off-season looked a little different.

SASKATOON — It was a question that gave Trevor Harris a temporary pause.

EDMONTON — Listening to Cody Fajardo speak several days into the Edmonton Elks' training camp, one would not know he has two Grey Cup championships and a Cup most valuable player award on his resume.
