Ottawa Redblacks to hire Mike Morreale as new president - 3DownNation

Mike Morreale is returning to the Canadian Football League. TSN Football Insider Dave Naylor reports the Ottawa Redblacks are set to name the former Canadian Elite Basketball League commissioner the team’s new president as soon as Wednesday. A 55-year-old native of Hamilton, Ont., Morreale stepped down as commissioner of the CEBL last fall after seven seasons in the role. He was also a co-founder of the league. A slotback in his playing days, Morreale appeared in 509 CFL games across 12 seasons with the Toronto Argonauts and his hometown Tiger-Cats from 1995 to 2006. He won Grey Cup titles in 1996 and 1999. In 1998, he was named the CFL’s Most Outstanding Canadian after a season in which he recorded 1,076 receiving yards and six TDs for the Ticats. Following his retirement, Morreale joined the CFL Players’ Association, first as its director of marketing before becoming president in 2012. He served two years in the role. Morreale will succeed Adrian Sciarra, who stepped down as team president in August. Shawn Burke, the team’s vice-president of player operations, was fired a week later. The Redblacks are set to wrap up a dreadful season in which they started the year at 0-16.

After the Vancouver Canucks traded Conor Garland to the Columbus Blue Jackets, he erupted for four goals in his next three games. He’s scored just one goal for the Blue Jackets in the 25 games since that four-goal outburst, and is now on a 15-game pointless streak.
