WINNIPEG - It's not a priority currently, but CFL commissioner Stewart Johnston said if the league does add a 10th team, he wants it to be in Canada.

Johnston said Friday during his first state of the league address that when the league unveiled its changes to its rules and field dimensions, it wasn't with an eye to returning to the United States. The league had U.S.-based franchises in the 1990s before returning to its all-Canadian setup in 1996.

"It is not our objective,” said. "When it comes to expansion, I’ve often been asked that question.

"While it’s not a top priority... of course, it’s incredibly important. We would love to have a 10th team in this league, but when I say 10th team, I mean a Canadian 10th team. That is our focus.”
