Argos, Ticats set to begin important Labour Day series at Tim Hortons Field
For McLeod Bethel-Thompson, the next five days will define the Toronto Argonauts’ season.
Toronto (3-6) visits Hamilton (4-5) on Monday night to open a crucial home-and-home series. The Argos will then host the arch-rival Tiger-Cats on Saturday at BMO Field.
The Ticats can not only separate themselves from the Argos with a sweep, but also move closer to the first-place Ottawa Redblacks (6-4). Toronto will be fighting for its playoff life this week. Given the real likelihood of a cross-over, only the top two teams in the East Division would secure post-season berths.
“It’s definitely season-defining for us,” said Bethel-Thompson, who’ll make just his fourth CFL start on Labour Day. “It’s the back-nine of the season, it’s now or never and we’ve got to get rolling soon.”
