Training Camp Recap: May 30

Training camp continued on Tuesday at McMahon Stadium with back-to-back practices in the morning as well as team photo day.

Power up

Tuesday marked the 2017 debut of the so-called power practice. Instead of one workout in the morning followed by a second field session in the late afternoon, both practices were held in the morning with a 20-minute break in between.

“It’s a chance to get the players off their feet in the afternoon,” says head coach Dave Dickenson.

Say cheese

Following the power practice, the players, coaches and staff went in front of the cameras.

Everyone posed for website and media-guide headshots while the players also filmed profile videos that will be used on the Stampstron this season. In addition, select players geared up in full uniform and posed for photos that will be used on TSN broadcasts.

Quotable

Quarterback Ricky Stanzi, who is in his first season in the CFL after an extended stay in the NFL: “Anytime you go somewhere and you learn a new offence and meet new people and see how they view the game, you’re always soaking that up. Seeing it from different eyes and from different philosophies has been really cool.”

Tomorrow’s schedule

There are two practices on Wednesday – the morning session runs from 9:05 a.m. to 11 a.m. while the afternoon practice goes from 4:20 p.m. to 6:05 p.m. ENG cameras will be permitted to shoot from approximately 9:05 to 9:40 a.m. during morning session and from 4:20 to 4:40 p.m. during afternoon practice.
