Coaching the coaches…
The Alouettes have been hosting coaches from different areas of Quebec over the last three days, taking time to work with them and show them how things work in the pro ranks.
“We invited them to attend our practices at camp so they would get a chance to see how we do things and ask our coaches questions,” said head coach Marc Trestman. “They are doing a very important job of developing football in Canada and if being here can help them, we are happy to do it.”
