Game 1 - Edmonton Elk home to Toronto Northmen
Edmonton Preview:
Edmonton coach Cynthia Fox didn't get to where she was as the first female coach in the CGL without being pragmatic and ruthless with her planning and preparation. That's why she's frustrated with accusations that she built her team based on gender lines.
"Our draft strategy was based on taking the best player available. As it happens, 5 of our 7 starters on offense are female. I can't stop the press from making it a talking point, but the team is ready to go out and prove they're the best."
Edmonton's "Grrl Power" offense is led by a trio of female weightlifters, led by Finn Marketta Porthen. These three will clear a path for the mobile and multi-talented HB Alexandria Humphries and veteran QB Shelly King.
