CF Montreal open training camp today
The temperature outside might be well below freezing in Montreal this week, but that won’t prevent CF Montreal from opening their training camp ahead of the upcoming season.
36 players were out on the astroturf at Complexe Sportif Marie-Victorin today, to begin a week-long camp, which featured several faces as CF Montreal has been shuffling its roster during the offseason. As well, the club extended several invitations to players, in order to get a better look at what they could potentially bring to the club.
