ALOUETTES RETIREMENT
MONTREAL – Montreal Alouettes guard Andrew Woodruff has retired after playing in only two games last season due to a concussion, the CFL club announced Wednesday.
Woodruff, 28, spent his five-year career in Montreal, which drafted him in the second round in 2008 from Boise State.
The Victoria native started 49 of his 61 regular season games. He won Grey Cups in 2009 and 2010.
“Unfortunately, Andrew has decided to hang up his cleats just as he was starting to peak and play his best ball,” coach and general manager Jim Popp said in a statement.
The Alouettes also signed two-year contracts with two Canadians _ linebacker Jonathan Beaulieu-Richard and slotback Chris Dobko.
Beaulieu-Richard joined Montreal from Hamilton’s practice roster in August and played one game, while Dobko helped the University of Calgary to an 8-0 record and a berth in the Vanier Cup game this season. The St. Albert, Alta., native was the Dinos’ top receiver with 33 catches for 526 yards in only six games.
What year was that? 2009 or 2010? when the Saskatchewan Roughriders lost that Grey Cup Championship due to their whole team and organization not knowing how to count to twelve and the Montreal Alouettes prevailing with the title?
Good luck In your future endeavours Mr Andrew Woodruff.
Well if it isn't Montreal Dave again. When did they let you out?
We counted the grey cup in 13…
Hmmm, stuck on that number 13, oh well, some people never learn.
And did you figure out yet that the next number is 14? or is that too high a level above the sk education learning ccurriculum?
