Montreal Alouettes News Release


Montreal - The Montreal Alouettes opened their 2025 training camp in Saint-Jérôme on Sunday at the Complexe sportif Claude-Beaulieu.

Several players put on the Alouettes jersey for the first time. That was the case for new quarterback McLeod Bethel-Thompson and the team's first-round draft pick, Tiger Shanks.

"What I'm experiencing right now feels surreal. I've been waiting for this moment since I was a kid, and I finally got to live it today. I love working with Luc Brodeur-Jourdain -he made me feel confident right away, and I'm happy with my first practice with the big club."

- Tiger Shanks

It was also a first for Davis Alexander, who began camp as the team's number one quarterback.

"I always approach camp the same way, with the same mindset, and I never take anything for granted. I know I worked really hard this winter to be ready - I put on some mass and I'm extremely excited for the season to start. I'm also looking forward to working with a veteran quarterback like Bethel-Thompson."

- Davis Alexander

"I was looking forward to this day. It was our first practice, and I liked the effort from the guys. Our execution wasn't perfect, but the players worked hard. There's already some great chemistry on the field."

- Jason Maas
