The Ottawa REDBLACKS have named Mike Morreale as club president.
“This is about more than building a team that can win. It’s about building an organization that can compete for championships and give people in Ottawa a reason to feel connected to and proud of the REDBLACKS.”
Morreale brings a unique combination of football credibility and executive leadership experience. He played 12 seasons in the CFL with the Toronto Argonauts and Hamilton Tiger-Cats, earning multiple CFL awards and winning two Grey Cups.

Chances are if you or your kids played or competed in minor sports or high school sports in Ottawa, Martin was at one of your games/competitions writing about it sometime over the past 53 years.
Truly one of a kind.
Congratulations on a wonderful career @MartinCleary!
The bittersweet day we always kind of dreaded has indeed arrived – @MartinCleary is calling it a career after more than 53 years covering amateur sport in Ottawa.
Congratulations & thank you Martin for everything you've contributed to our community! 📝🏆

Major shoutout to the diehard @REDBLACKS fans who brought it. You had every reason to stay home. Players got a taste of what this place can be like. Best atmosphere of the season by a mile. Fans have been dying for something - anything - to cheer for all season. Glad you got a W.

Adeboboye, Bryson Barnes, Keelan White. That might be something to build around!
Paolo | @DefendTheR retweeted
I know that this doesn’t exactly reflect how many actually showed up for the tickets they purchased, but still. It is unreal how many fans still got off their wallets to stick with this team. Ottawa has always been a great football town.
Paolo | @DefendTheR retweeted
Well it’s not 2nd and 25. But it’s great to finally call a @REDBLACKS win. FINALLY!!!
Bryson Barnes to Ayden Eberhardt for the Touchdown to help @REDBLACKS win their first game in 2026, here's the fina post.futurimedia.com/cfgoam/…

There’s now at least an argument for @REDBLACKS going all-in on Bryson Barnes. Make it all about his development, commit to him and see if you can produce your own Davis Alexander. Thoughts on that?
