Montreal Alouettes players joined a strike, along with athletes from several other Canadian Football League teams, on Sunday, who are still looking for a new collective agreement.

Thus, the members of the Sparrows installed in Trois-Rivières for the training camp closed the doors to the media, under the pretext that it was only a group of friends gathered to stretch.

The Alouettes organization had no choice but to cancel today's practice, as did six other teams. Only Alberta organizations will continue their training camp for at least another three days, before potentially joining the strike.

“We know that you expect a full season that will begin at the agreed time, had written the commissioner of the league Randy Ambrosie, by means of press release, Saturday, while adding the details of the proposal made to the Association. players.

"To get there, we need a new collective agreement with our players that will ensure a good partnership."
