Over 3,000 stuffed animals were tossed onto the ice.
The era of one-year contracts continues to have CFL fans frustrated at the lack of continuity for the league’s nine teams.
Hopefully with the window opening again for NFL tryouts in January, more players will sign the old one-and-one deal: One year plus a team option for Year 2.
Without the window, players were signing more and more one-year deals.
This year the Riders have 15 to 18 starters from Sunday’s West Division final as pending free agents, plus several other backups or injured starters.
Young Canadians like Cam Judge, Makana Henry and Dariusz Bladek are all poised to become free agents.
Star players like Derrick Moncrief, Charleston Hughes, Micah Johnson and Naaman Roosevelt — potential free agents.
Character leaders like Solomon Elimimian, Ed Gainey, Dan Clark and Thad Coleman — pending free agents.
The Riders aren’t the only team that will deal with this. A record number of free agents hit the market prior to the 2019 season; a similar number will again in February.
You shouldn’t have to wonder why fans’ passion for teams and players is dropping.
Fans can barely learn a player’s name before he has moved on.
