“We are excited to watch these players compete in this year’s game," said Lee Barette, President of CanadaFootballChat.com in a statement. "The roster is improved from last year, which is saying a lot since five players from last year's game already have FBS NCAA offers."

"The CFC Prospect Game is all about 'opportunity,'" said CFL on TSN analyst Duane Forde. "It's an opportunity for the top high school players in Canada to go head-to-head with their peers from across the country, and it's an opportunity for Canadian football fans to get a look at the next John Metchie III, Henoc Muamba, Chase Claypool, Chuba Hubbard, Matthew Bergeron, Nathan Rourke, or Kurtis Rourke before the rest of the world gets to know who they are.

"This game is always a highlight on my football calendar."
