The Hamilton Tiger-Cats find themselves in first place in the CFL East Division, if only by a narrow margin, as they prepare to host the annual Labour Day Classic against the Toronto Argonauts on Monday.

The Tiger-Cats (6-4) are 1 1/2 games up on Montreal at this point in the regular season, and everything starts to feel more urgent with two months to go. However, the Ticats don't subscribe to the idea that the CFL season really starts on that first Monday of September.

"Being at this point at Labour Day, being 6-4, it's a lot better feeling than what we've been feeling the last two years," defensive lineman Casey Sayles told the Hamilton Spectator. "So you say it starts on Labour Day but I think we're in a lot better position. Being first in the East right now feels phenomenal."
