Second year defensive lineman Josh Lenz of the Edmonton Huskies helped his team to a 6-2 record last year and a place in the Prairie Conference finale.
In the regular season he collected 10 tackles, had a pair of assisted stops, two sacks, a knockdown and a forced fumble.
Believe it or not this defensive lineman would love to spend a day with a quarterback if he could choose any current or former NFL star. Watch what Josh has to say about it.
Coast-to-coast live-stream tournament to take place during summer
Football Canada is excited to announce a new national virtual tournament this summer.

Three separate Regional Qualifying Rounds will kick off the tournament on July 4-5, 2020. The Eastern Round will consist of participants from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland. Meanwhile, players from Ontario and Quebec will compete in the Central Round. Finally, the Western Round will see competitors from Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and British Columbia. Specific times for the rounds will be released closer to the dates.

Players begin their CJFL career on June 1st
For some Monday June 1st is the biggest day of their young lives, as the CJFL presents its National Signing Day.
The day is earmarked every year on June 1st, the day in which players can finally sign with a CJFL club. When a player signs he is essentially signing for his entire junior football career as the player then becomes the property of that team.
So many considerations are made before signing with a CJFL club; location, team support, roster depth, coaching staff, scholarship program, etc all weighs in on a player’s decision.
National Signing Day is not only exciting for the players, but the coaches as well. Their ideas, hopes and hard work will finally come to fruition as they start to fill their roster spots.
Following National Signing Day coaches can continue to recruit and sign a player immediately if he’s a good fit for their team. That said the bulk of the players ready to play in the CJFL will sign on June 1st.
Once players sign on the dotted line, coaches can begin developing their schemes and systems around their potential starters. They can also begin preparing for their Main Camp along with Week 1 of the regular season, still to be determined as restrictions from COVID-19 begin to lift.
All three Conferences and 17 CJFL teams will participate on June 1st, signing players to their 2020 roster.
Fans can keep up to date with CJFL National Signing Day on social media with #CJFLSigningDay as teams will be posting once a player signs.
