缅北强奸

听

MONTREAL -- Hundreds of gridiron players will don their shoulder pads and helmets for the first time this season when the six teams of the Quebec University Football League (QUFL) open their respective training camps this Saturday.

听

Over the coming weeks, teams will be studying playbooks, game film and practicing in preparation for the 2010 season that kicks-off at on Sept. 2 when the Sherbrooke Vert & Or travel to Montreal to take on the Carabins on the new turf at CEPSUM Stadium. 缅北强奸 opens their pre-season with an exhibition game on Aug. 28 in Toronto against the Varsity Blues.

听

Each team will play nine regular season games in 2010, one more than in previous campaigns. The top-four teams in the QUFL standings at the end of the season qualify for the Dunsmore Cup playoffs beginning with the semi-final round on Nov. 6. The championship final will be contested a week later on Nov. 13.

听

Like a year ago, the race to the playoffs should come down to the wire in 2010. Last season, fans were treated to a hotly-contested race with the final two playoff berths being decided on the last day of the campaign.

听

The QUFL has seen an increase in parity on the field in recent years as the league thrives in its production of elite football players. Last spring, 10 QUFL players were selected in the Canadian Football League college draft and despite having four fewer teams than its Ontario counterpart, the QUFL tied the OUA for the most players drafted into the pro ranks.

The network's schedule continues with the CIS national semifinal bowl games on Nov. 20 and culminates with the 2010 Desjardins Vanier Cup from Quebec City on Nov. 27.
