Shock losing Pino to CFL
Spokane offensive lineman Chris Pino has signed a contract with Montreal of the CFL. The Shock today placed Pino on the other league exempt list. CFL teams are just beginning training camp.
Spokane recently signed ex-Idaho Vandal Adam Juratovac and Rob McMackin, a starter earlier this season, will probably come off injured-reserve in a couple of weeks.
