MONTREAL – The Alouettes announced on Monday that the team will return to Bishop’s University in Sherbrooke for their 2014 training camp. For the fifth consecutive year, the Alouettes will hold all workouts and practices on campus at Coulter Field, as newly appointed head coach Tom Higgins and General Manager Jim Popp evaluate their players over the span of three weeks. No less than 75 players are expected to report to Bishop’s when camp opens on Sunday, June 1.
“We are very happy to return to Bishop’s for a fifth consecutive year. The school offers our players and coaches first-class facilities and an atmosphere that allows them to keep their concentration at the highest level during this important learning phase,” said Popp. “Our fans, the media, as well as local-area schools are more than welcome to visit us on a daily basis, and we will gladly make time to answer all your questions. Training camp is the best way to get to see your favorite players up close and personal.”
The club will play two pre-season games – June 14 on the road opposite the Tiger-Cats at McMaster University in Hamilton and then at home in Montreal to end camp by hosting the first-year Ottawa REDBLACKS on June 20 at Percival Molson Memorial Stadium.
