again Tuesday as he donned

WINNIPEG - Brett Carter was grinning ear to ear again Tuesday as he donned a Winnipeg Blue Bombers uniform for the second time in two years. Tom Chambers Jersey.The former Winnipeg Rifles receiver got to work out with the team last season and even dressed for a July game, then spent the rest of the season on the practice roster. Hes hoping to take the next step on his dream quest to make his hometown team.Im coming in here and Im going to fight for a spot, he said Tuesday as Day 3 of main training camp ended but his just started.Im going to be competing against a lot of these guys and there are a lot of really good players so Ive got to step my level up a lot and just be determined to do the best that I can do.Hes just 21 but was a CJFL All-Canadian and took home MVP honours with the Rifles, on top of being named a Prairie Football Conference All-Star.Last season, it was more of a teaching move to invite the young player to camp. The Bombers also invited a few Rifles players and a University of Manitoba Bisons quarterback to camp this year to work out with the team.But when July rolled around last season, injuries forced the Bombers to look for a Canadian to dress and Carter got the call. Coach Mike OShea said injuries in camp were also the reason Carter got a call this season as the Bombers look to bolster their Canadian talent.When youre faced with a certain number of injuries and youre looking at whos on your list of guys to bring back, he was here before, he understands what were trying to do here, hes local, hes good, said the coach.Carter impressed the coaches last season with his work ethic and ability. He also worked out with a team trainer in the off-season.Winnipeg-born Taylor Renaud, who played for Acadia, is also getting another look at Bombers camp as a receiver this season.The Bombers traded away two Canadian receivers in the off-season to acquire starting quarterback Drew Willy and defensive back Korey Banks.Willy, who was a backup in Regina, said after Tuesdays practice that hes starting to get more of a feel for the receivers hell be working with this season.One is former B.C. Lions receiver Nick Moore, who was signed as a free agent in the off-season. Willy has known Moore for years, going back to when they were both trying to land jobs in the NFL.I like what Im seeing, Ive thrown with Nick before, said Willy.Guys like (Clarence) Denmark and Rory (Kohlert), these guys are good players as well so its fun to be around talented guys like this. Ive thrown a bunch of balls to Aaron Kelly and weve made a lot of big plays with him. Im just trying to put together things with each guy, get a feel for how they run each route.The CFL labour dispute continues to hang over the camp and the Bombers and the Toronto Argonauts could be the first to feel the impact. They are scheduled to open the exhibition season Monday and the regular season on June 26, also in Winnipeg.The teams player rep, veteran offensive lineman Glenn January, suggested the players arent rushing to take any action.The conversations Ive had have been strictly limited to what we can do to get the CFL to see our point of view, he said.The Winnipeg exhibition game comes before the two Alberta teams could legally strike. January said he knows that.Our strike laws are different than Alberta and I do know that we have a strike vote in hand which is my understanding can be exercised at any point in time.But he also suggested the exhibition game wasnt necessarily in jeopardy, unless the players were forced to vote on the leagues contract offer. If it was rejected, he said it would deprive players in some provinces of any protection under the collective agreement.The two sides in the CFL labour dispute havent held formal meetings since Thursday and no new talks are scheduled. Devin Booker Jersey . But Paul Osbaldiston, Hamiltons assistant special teams and kicking coach, said the team still relished the championship game workout. Charlie Scott Jersey .

The Senators goalie has struggled in his rare starts, leaving the 23-year-old Lenher wondering what else he can do.Honestly I cant really explain it, said Lehner. The last few games Ive played I work hard and Im trying to get better and I feel good, but bar in, post in, it hits someone. Its just not going my way. I dont know, I guess Ill have a long sauna and think about things and who did I hurt to get these bounces. I dont know.Obviously, Ive got to go back and try to get even better. Ive got to find a way.Ottawa got off to a rough start, but rallied only to see the game slip away as well as another two points in the standings.(Coming back) its another moral victory, but its a little too late for them, said Senators forward Bobby Ryan. Youre point watching in January. Its tough.Jamie Benn struck twice for the Stars (22-19-7), while Colton Sceviour, Ales Hemsky and Trevor Daley had goals as well. Kari Lehtonen made 25 saves for the win.Mika Zibanejad, Ryan and Alex Chiasson scored for the Senators (19-19-9).Thursdays game marked Jason Spezzas return to Ottawa for the first time since being traded to the Stars in the off-season. While few knew how the former Senators captain would be received, the 18,752 on hand gave Spezza a standing ovation following a video tribute early in the first period.Im happy to have it over, said Spezza. Its an emotional game. I was really thankful to the Senators organization for having a little tribute to me there and the reception of the fans acknowledgement.It was a great chapter of my career being here and for me this gives me a little closing of a chapter and looking forward to the future with the Stars, but the first time (back) was tough. Its emotional coming back.With the game tied 3-3 the Stars took the lead midway thrrough the third period, as Klingberg took advantage of an Ottawa turnover to break in alone and beat Lehner with a wrist shot. Phoenix Suns Shirts. I thought our whole game was slow, was sloppy, said Senators coach Dave Cameron. We were a real easy team to play against so that led to some real quality chances against. It was just one of those games where we got back into it, but we still didnt have the jump.Trailing 3-2, Chiasson tied things up early in the third as he took a cross-ice pass from Kyle Turris and tapped it in as he drove to the net. It was Chiassons first goal in 17 games.I guess I cant believe I put that one in, said Chiasson with a laugh. It was a nice play by (Turris). I faced a little bit of adversity this week. Its not easy as a player to think youre going to be out of the lineup.After a rough start to the game the Senators had a much better second period, thanks to some solid goaltending from Lehner.Lehner made huge saves on Spezza, two on Patrick Eaves and got a little help when Seguin rang a shot off the goalpost. The Senators were outshot 16-8 in the second.Things did not start well for Ottawa as it trailed 3-0 by the 12-minute mark of the first period, although two late goals salvaged an otherwise rough start.Zibanejad got the Senators on the board as he retrieved his own rebound and jammed it in.
