When the Alouettes take to the field to face the Tiger-Cats on Sunday, it will mean a little more to Marc-Olivier Brouillette.
Anthony Calvillo has been spoiling Alouettes fans since the beginning of the season and looks to be in position to treat them to yet another historic moment on Thanksgiving Monday.
Following a record-breaking performance, François Ferland explains why Alouettes kicker Sean Whyte has never taken as much pleasure away from playing football as he does right now.
Adrian McPherson is 28 years old. At that age, anyone making a career out of being a quarterback hopes to be used regularly, given that it’s within that age range that one is usually not only at peak physical shape, but also most productive, due to experience acquired. But McPherson continues to wait patiently, limited to his role as backup quarterback. Nothing could be more normal however, given that a healthy Anthony Calvillo is currently at the helm of the Alouettes’ offence.
Éric Deslauriers, who had not only the good fortune, but also the honour of catching Anthony Calvillo’s historic 395th touchdown pass this past July 15 at Percival Molson Stadium, walked away from the special moment a wiser man, having learned a lesson that will likely help him grow as a player.

On the sixth day of training camp this past Friday, Alouettes quarterback Anthony Calvillo was finally seen in his true light, moving fluidly while completing precise passes, and smiling contentedly upon returning to the team’s temporary locker room located on the campus of Bishop’s University.
Ray Lalonde held a rallying speech Wednesday during the press conference at which he was named the new President and Chief Executive Officer of the Montreal Alouettes. As part of his speech, Mr. Lalonde underlined the importance of maintaining strong relationships with the organization's clientele, both fans and business partners alike. "The future of this team will pass through its fans," said Lalonde, "and we will react accordingly."
When the Alouettes’ veteran QB met the press in December and the subject of how many years were left in his brilliant career came up, he reminded everyone that he was now a full-time Montrealer and that he will stay in La Belle Province even once his career is over. Which meant of course, that as a true Montrealer, he even spoke to us about hockey and the Heritage Classic.
