RedBlacks Part Ways With V.P. Of Football Burke

The Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group today announced that Shawn Burke will be leaving his role as Vice President, Football Operations of the Ottawa REDBLACKS.

Burke joined the REDBLACKS in 2021 and has led the club’s football operations since that time.

“This is a difficult decision because I have a lot of respect for Shawn,” said OSEG CEO Mark Goudie. “Nobody can question how hard he has worked or how much he cares about the REDBLACKS. Shawn has embraced this organization and this community, and he has given an enormous amount of himself to the job. I am very grateful to him for that commitment.”

“At the same time, our football results have not been good enough. Ultimately, I have a responsibility to make changes when I believe we need a different approach, and I have concluded that a change in our football leadership is necessary.”

“Shawn has been a dedicated member of the REDBLACKS organization over the past five seasons.  I want to thank him for the professionalism, hard work and commitment he brought to the role, and I wish him and his family the very best.”

OSEG will be providing a further update on the REDBLACKS football operations structure shortly.
