Andrew, Rory, and Mo will be going to the National Combine in Toronto while Isaiah, Tim, Scott and Chris will be at the regional combine in Edmonton.  The combines precede the CFL Draft and is an opportunity for all the teams to evaluate the best of our Nations eligible players.  All of these men had a tremendous impact on the Wildcat teams they were a part of, and all are grateful for the time spent with the Wildcats and point to it as a huge part of their lives both on and off the field.
