Toronto Argonauts News Release


Toronto - The countdown is officially on until the opening of 2009 training camps across the CFL and the Argos home opener on Saturday, July 11. With less than two weeks until rookie camp begins, spring is in the air and the boys of summer are set to kick off the 2009 CFL season on Canada Day.

New Argos Head Coach Bart Andrus and his coaches cannot wait to begin practices and put their mark on the squad. Argos veterans like QB Kerry Joseph, R Arland Bruce III, OG Taylor Robertson and LB Kevin Eiben want to erase the memory of 2008 and start a new season with a winning spirit. Bringing some discipline and toughness are Argos newcomers OT Rob Murphy, LB Zeke Moreno and C Dominic Picard.

Rookies and quarterbacks take to the field for rookie camp on Wednesday, June 3. Expect to see the Argos first round draft pick, 2nd overall, Etienne Legare, bring the skills that earned him CIS accolades to the CFL.

Argos veterans report for medicals on Saturday, June 6 and full team two-a-day practices begin on Sunday, June 7 as the team prepares for the first pre-season game at home on Tuesday, June 17 vs. the Montreal Alouettes. Two-a-day practices generally will be held at 8:30 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. with Coach Andrus available immediately following the morning session.

Updates will be available online at www.argonauts.ca. The 2009 Training Camp Prospectus and Training Camp Guide will be available to the media at training camp.

Training camp is open to the general public. Fans of the Boatmen can come out to UofT at Mississauga, 3359 Mississauga Rd. North, Upper Field, and be among the first to meet your 2009 Toronto Argonauts. Fans should also mark Sunday, June 14 in their calendars as the Argos annual Fan Day returns.
