Canadian College Draft

Canadian College Draft

The Canadian College Draft (also known as the CFL Canadian Draft, CFL College Draft or simply CFL Draft) is an annual sports draft in which the teams of the Canadian Football League (CFL) select eligible Canadian/non-import players, typically from the ranks of college football in either the CIS or NCAA. Since 1997, the draft has consisted of six rounds, with teams selecting in reverse order of their placement in the previous season.

Formerly held as part of annual league meetings in Hamilton, and occasionally televised, in recent years the draft has typically been held via conference call. In 2007, the league began producing a free webcast of the event.
