Ottawa Renegades News Release
The Ottawa Renegades are proud to announce that they will be the host team for Touchdown Atlantic, scheduled for June 3 at St. Mary's Stadium in Halifax. The match up which will feature the Renegades taking on the Montreal Alouettes was announced in Halifax today by CFL Commissioner Tom Wright.
"We are very supportive of this particular event, and the whole concept of growing the CFL into Atlantic Canada," stated Renegade club President Lonie Glieberman.
"We want to see the League expand to 10 teams eventually and we support the concept of a franchise in the Maritimes so that we can boast of being a truly national league".
"While we realize our fans will miss out in seeing our team play at home in the pre season the game will be seen on live television on TSN and RDS, and we are happy to make this sacrifice for a worthwhile cause and the long term interest of CFL football." Glieberman concluded.
