I believe it has more to do with the timing of the NFL Draft and end of the school year for NCAA students. The NFL Draft is at the end of April and the CFL Draft is usually a few weeks (mid May) after the NFL Draft, so teams can evaluate players who were not selected in the NFL Draft. Training camp and preseason usually take a month, so the beginning of June for the season start would be unlikely. I could see them moving it up a week or two, but not an entire month.
