March 4, 2026: NEWS UPDATE, AUS FINAL SET

There is a pre-preview because the OUA division final begins tonight, and the AUS finished their semi-final round on a Tuesday. The regular preview is tomorrow for the CW, ACAC, and BCIHL.


Captain Jonny Hooker turned pro with the Tulsa Oilers (ECHL) and was briefly loaned to the San Diego Gulls of the AHL. He's back in Tulsa and scored his first two professional goals in a 2-0 win.

While this was a sweep, at least UPEI went down with a fight. The stats look to be pretty even.

The Rajin Cajuns kinda fell apart this year. They looked to be a good bet to be at the nationals, yet here they are with 3-straight losses.

Started a few games isn't what I call a starter.

What I'm saying is the chances of any Canadian QB, especially one who didn't have US coaching, becoming a starter in the CFL is remarkably slim. If he makes it he will be a unicorn, like Rourke.

Better watch out, "cause the times they are a-changin'", in times past it would have been hard to believe Canadians could be the best players at their position, now it's not that unusual.

Datillo had nearly 10,000 yards in passing.  While there aren't many there were a few Canadian QB's.

I have a good feeling about this one!

Have you seen him play? What is it that gives you a good feeling?  His draft profile sounds pretty good.

Jordan Taylor:

 an athletic, undrafted free agent (UDFA) defensive back out of James Madison (JMU) with high-level speed and impressive Pro Day results. Standing 5'10" and 174 lbs, he recorded a blistering 4.35–4.44 40-yard dash, 38.5" vertical, and 10'5" broad jump, showcasing elite testing numbers for a cornerback.

  Skill Set: Known for his speed and ball skills, with 5 passes defended (PDs) in his tracked senior profile.

Taylor is considered a developmental cornerback prospect who relies on his speed to match up with wide receivers, having previously modeled his game after elite corners.

I think we care about all of our draft picks who are good enough to get NFL looks. We're also in the market for a young quarterback with his physical attributes.

Should we be intentionally uninterested because he's Canadian?

I wouldn't be any more interested in him than all the other QBs who are not quite good enough for the NFL, and totally unproven as of yet in the CFL. Some feel his history of playing the game in Canada gives him a leg up on other prospects, and it may temporarily. But ultimately, a QB will sink or swim based on what's above his shoulders, his ability to read a defense and make good timely decisions with the ball. If you don't have that, as we have seen with Ford, a lifetime of playing Canadian ball will not help you.

Because since a couple/few years ago the QB can count as one of your 7 NAT starters?  That definitely increased the interest on making a NAT QB "work".  Before that it was absolutely no "bonus" for you to start a NAT QB.

IMO QB is too important a position to worry much about Nat or non-Nat. You need to find the best player at the position, period. If it happens to be a Nat, that's a bonus, but its not worth enough to even consider starting an inferior QB.
