REDBLACKS ADD BLUGH
OTTAWA – Leroy Blugh, a standout Canadian defensive lineman for 15 Canadian Football League seasons, has joined the Ottawa REDBLACKS as the team’s defensive line coach.
The 47-year-old Blugh, who grew up in Napanee, played with the Edmonton Eskimos (1989-2000) and the Toronto Argonauts (2001-2003) before becoming a coach.
He was head coach at Bishop’s from 2005-2010 and served as an assistant for two seasons with the Queen’s Golden Gaels before joining the Eskimos for the 2013 season as Edmonton’s tutor of the defensive line.
“We’re excited to welcome Leroy to our REDBLACKS family,” said head coach Rick Campbell. “Leroy knows what it takes to play defensive line at a high level in the CFL. His extensive playing and coaching experience will be invaluable to our football team.”
Blugh hoisted the Grey Cup with the Eskimos in 1993, was a CFL West Division all-star in 1996 and 1998, and was named the league’s outstanding Canadian in 1996.
