2025 CFC Prospect Game on TSN is heading to Hamilton (ROSTER RELEASE)

TORONTO (April 29, 2025) – Canadafootballchat.com (CFC) and The Sports Network (TSN) are ready to bring the top high school football talent in Canada to the national stage for the 2025 CFC Prospect Game.

The milestone fifth edition will see the game moved to Hamilton, where 75 of the top Canadian high school football prospects will suit up at Hamilton Stadium on May 24th at 11:15am EST.

“After four great years in Ottawa the game is moving to Hamilton. We say a heartfelt thank you to the RedBlacks organization for being such great hosts; and look forward to working with the Tiger-Cats in 2025” said Lee Barette, President of CanadaFootballChat.com.

CFL on TSN panelists Davis Sanchez and Milt Stegall will once again return as special guest head coaches for a rubber match after Team Stegall defeated Team Sanchez in last year’s contest to make the record between the two CFL legends 1-1. 

The selection process included a cross-country tour visiting eight cities featuring a professional combine setting including 40 yard dash, shuttle, vertical and broad jump events.

“We are excited to watch these players compete in this year’s game. We have had some great players participate in past games including Mississippi State’s Albert Reece IV, Ole Miss’ Shekai Mills-Knight and Syracuse’s Antoine Deslauriers. That said, this roster is the deepest one yet.” said Barette.

CFL on TSN analyst Duane Forde added that these rosters represent a glimpse into the future for the most passionate Canadian football fans.

“The CFC Prospect Game is all about setting the foundation for future success at the college and pro level. It’s a tremendous opportunity for top high school prospects from coast to coast to test their skills on the national stage against the best from other provinces, under the tutelage of some of Canada’s best university coaches. It also allows Canadian football fans to familiarize themselves with the next Chuba Hubbard, Kurtis Rourke, Chase Brown or Brady Oliveira before they become household names. This is a can’t miss game for hardcore fans from across the country.”

The second edition of the CFC Prospect Game on TSN featured CFL legends Matt Dunigan returning, and Davis Sanchez making his first appearance as head coach.
