CFC Scouting Bureau
The Canada Football Chat (CFC) Scouting Bureau is comprised of CFC scouts, player personnel directors of Canadian National program, selected private scouts, selected CIS coaches, and contributing Provincial Sports Organizations.
Each U20 team list will focus on players that are ‘age eligible’ (1993, 1994 birth years) and are from ‘member provinces’. Currently, Football British Columbia’s membership in Football Canada is “not in good standing” and players from that province are not eligible to represent Canada at the upcoming U20 IFAF Junior Football championship.
Advocating for football prospects one story at a time.
