Sounds like things are a bit rough in BC, but all pretty subjective, a couple of players grousing in one location can make minor details look like a big deal. It's really just an opinion poll with no across the board evaluation by a team of experts to provide balance to the report.

It's a players assessment of their relationship with the various CFL teams. It's not a deep dive into how the CFL can be better with input from management, coaches and players.

Seems a bit misguided for players to complain about flight specifics for away games. I can't imagine the league or any club gets to influence that, but please correct me if I'm wrong.

In any event, it's nice to get feedback from players across the league regarding their experiences with life in the CFL.

Agree. One thing though, I cannot wrap my head around is that most teams, I believe, get on a plane back home right after the completion of an away game.

As every hockey parent is well aware, check out time for hotels is 11:00, one day less paying accommodations is significant money saved.
