Our recreational vehicles are very similar to a CFL football player; they are tough and powerful yet nimble and swift," declared Yves Leduc, vice-president and general manager of the North America division. "Furthermore, CFL fans and powersport enthusiasts share the same passion for adrenaline, be it on the field, riding off road, on road, on water or on snow. It makes sense to partner together".
"It truly is a natural fit for the CFL and BRP to partner together," said CFL Commissioner Mark Cohon. "Both organizations have such rich histories in Canada and continue to be deeply rooted in communities across the country. BRP is another great Canadian brand that will be with us in Edmonton to celebrate the sold-out 98th Grey Cup with our millions of fans from around the nation."
