Canadian Football League commissioner Randy Ambrosie speaks during a public forum at Boston Pizza Ice District in Edmonton, on Thursday, March 14, 2019. Ambrosie spoke about efforts to grow the league’s player base, fan base and number of teams.

The Canadian sports league has faced declining attendance in some markets recently and is looking to bring more Mexican players on to teams north of the border. Ambrosie says it’s about time that the CFL stops being afraid of the reach and power of the National Football League in the United States and starts looking away from the “check engine light” and towards efforts to grow the game beyond Canada’s borders.
