One training camp wish for every CFL team

Training camps have opened and the 2026 season is finally almost upon us. Across the league, players and coaches alike have hit the turf in their respective cities as preparations for the upcoming campaign begin.

From figuring out the roles of the receivers in Calgary to finding a way to get over the Grey Cup hump for a pair of feline foes, CFL.ca’s Marshall Ferguson has one training camp wish for every team.

The Lions feel so close. Since 2021, the West Coast club has lost in the Western Semi-Final twice and the Western Final another two times. The quarterback is everything you could dream of, Buck Pierce is an excellent head coach, and the front office has shown the ability to address needs through free agency, the draft, and everything in between.

Now, the challenge becomes taking those lessons learned and ensuring they don’t have to suffer through them again. The offence should be crisper, huddle mechanics smoother, and opponent-specific preparation greater. The tools are there, but that attention to detail is my wish for the Lions and their fans.

Free Agency is Fuel, but 2026 is the Match
