INDEPTH: 2005 CFL PREVIEW CFL season set to kick off CBC Sports Online | Last updated June 21, 2005

June is a special time for Canadians. It's the end of the school year, the beginning of summer and, most important for football fans, the return of the Canadian Football League.

The 2005 CFL season kicks off Wednesday, and CBC Sports Online prepares you for the upcoming campaign by taking an in-depth look at all nine teams and evaluating their chances of hoisting the 93rd Grey Cup.

With the help of the CFL on CBC panel, we examine all the major off-season moves, highlight the key players to keep an eye on, analyze the stories that will shape the upcoming season, and answer the major questions on every fan's mind.

Can the Argos repeat as Grey Cup champions? Will Henry Burris help turn the Stampeders around? Will the returning Ricky Ray be the difference for the Eskimos? What will the Gliebermans do for the Renegades and football in the nation's capital?

Read on and find out.
