Fellow CFL Alumni,
As we eagerly anticipate the 2024 season of the Canadian Football League, I am thrilled to highlight the latest updates and developments that are shaping what promises to be an exhilarating year for our beloved sport.
Firstly, the CFL is buzzing with the potential introduction of new rule changes aimed at enhancing the game’s pace and safety. While these changes are still under discussion, they signify the leagues commitment to evolving the game while maintaining its unique spirit and excitement.
The free agency period has been particularly dynamic this year, with a remarkable movement of talent across the league. These shifts promise to bring a fresh competitive edge to the teams, making the upcoming season even more unpredictable and thrilling. Many of our Alumni are part of each team’s coaching staff and there has been significant movement in this area as well.
One highlight of the season will undoubtedly be the Touchdown Pacific game in Victoria, B.C. at the end of August. Moving across the country from the Atlantic coast, the standards set in the east will ensure an amazing fan experience. This event is not just a celebration of football but also a testament to the sport’s growing popularity and its power to unite communities across the country. It promises to be a great festival of our game.
Finally, the anticipation for the Grey Cup in Vancouver is already building. As the pinnacle of the CFL season, it will not only showcase the best of Canadian football but also serve as a grand reunion for our alumni. It will be a time to relive old memories and create new ones, as we come together to celebrate the game we all love at this year’s version of the Legends Luncheon.
As we look forward to these exciting times, I invite you all to stay engaged, support our teams, and continue to be an integral part of our thriving CFL community.
Warm regards,
Robert Bronk
CFLAA President
