      Coach A -
      Looks great. I would really like to see some more presentations on Canadian football schemes to compliment the already impressive list of presentations on football fundamentals and philosophy.

      I saw a lot of innovative things in the CIS this past year. I wish CIS coaches were more willing to share this information to help advance the Canadian game.
