Sports Take

The Edmonton Elks, (still hate that name) were by far one of the most active teams in the offseason, which includes nabbing a new head coach from the rival Stampeders in Mark Killam. It’ll be his first season as a head coach after being in Calgary for 15 season and serving as assistant head coach in recent years. But he brought a ton of high impact players with him, let’s take a looksie at them.

Major change for the Elks this season, the good thing is they have brought in good players, the potential bad part is the amount of change being made and whether or not the group can come together to be an effective team on the field on game days. Overall I think the Elks got better but it remains to be seen how they’ll do this season.

I’m expecting the Elks to go 7-11 this season
