Commissioner Discusses Moncton Future
Published on September 24, 2011 10:13 AM
Is it an enviable position for the commissioner to have to temper the excitement Touchdown Atlantic brings to the Maritimes about a permanent professional franchise?

CFL Pink Oct. 21-22 will provide ample more opportunity to raise funds league wide than individuals trying to raise awareness alone.
