ABOUT OSEG
The Ottawa REDBLACKS Football Club
is operated by the Ottawa Sports and
Entertainment Group (OSEG), a partnership of
the five Ottawa-based business and community
leaders: Roger Greenberg, John Ruddy, Bill Shenkman, Jeff Hunt and John Pugh.
The new downtown sports and entertainment district at Lansdowne is a partnership
between OSEG and the City of Ottawa. It’s a “go-to” destination for residents and
visitors, offering live sports, entertainment, shopping, condominium living and a
major new urban park.
Initially, OSEG was founded to re-establish a CFL team in Ottawa. However, the
city’s stadium required major renovations, which were not feasible without a
comprehensive plan for the revitalization of the entire 48-acre site.
The Lansdowne Partnership Plan, which offered a vision for a new, vibrant and
transformed Lansdowne, was developed and presented to City Council on
September 2, 2009. Over the next three years, with extensive input from local
communities and Ottawa residents at-large, the plan was refined and approved
for implementation by Council on October 11, 2012.
The district will also feature two condominium towers, townhomes, a 33,500-square
meter shopping/restaurant district, an office tower, 1,300 underground parking
spaces and an 18-acre urban park.
OSEG operates the CFL’s Ottawa REDBLACKS, the NASL’s Ottawa Fury FC and the
OHL’s Ottawa’s 67’s. OSEG will also manage TD Place and the mixed-use areas and
facilities on the site.
OSEG Partners: John Ruddy, Jeff Hunt, Bill Shenkman, John Pugh and Roger Greenberg.
ABOUT OSEG OTTAWA REDBLACKS
Lansdowne features TD Place, a 24,000-seat stadium for football, soccer, concerts
(34,000 capacity) and other major events. This includes a refurbished 9,862-seat
arena for the Ottawa 67’s of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL). The use of the
arena at TD Place also includes community hockey, other arena sports, mid-size
concerts and other events.

HUNT
OTTAWA REDBLACKS
OSEG PARTNERS
Born and raised in Newfoundland, Jeff Hunt and his family moved to Ottawa
in 1984 and immediately immersed themselves in Ottawa’s sports culture.
They attended Ottawa 67’s and Ottawa Rough Riders games and Jeff was
hooked on the fan experience.

business, Canway, into a seven-time Profit 100 business, Mr. Hunt
purchased the Ottawa 67’s and set out to grow the team’s fan base. The
results were spectacular, largely because of a philosophy which is also
being followed by OSEG’s CFL and NASL teams— connecting with the
community while delivering a fan experience that appeals to the whole
family.
Mr. Hunt’s community connections extend to a range of Ottawa charities,
schools and institutions, through the Ottawa 67’s Foundation and community
outreach programs.
Jeff, father of Jay and Kelsey, lives in Ottawa.

40When the Grey Cup game rolls around this season, it will mark exactly 40
years since an Ottawa CFL team won the championship.
4The REDBLACKS had four receivers – Brad Sinopoli, Chris Williams, Greg
Ellingson and Ernest Jackson – catch for over 1,000 yards. All are back
with the team and will be looking to repeat.
5If the REDBLACKS win their season opener in Edmonton, it would be the
club's fifth straight regular season win dating back to last season.
8Should the REDBLACKS win 8 of 9 home games in 2016, it would set a new
OTTAWA REDBLACKS
BY THE NUMBERS
franchise-high for wins in Ottawa after the club recorded seven victories at
TD Place in 2015.

STAFF AND PLAYER MILESTONES FOR 2016
9If Henry Burris plays in all REDBLACKS regular season games this season,
it will mark the ninth-straight year in which the quarterback has played in
all 18 games.
30-102015 REDBLACKS All-Star defensive back Abdul Kanneh, who is entering
his third year with the REDBLACKS, is three regular season games away
from 30 for his career. After recording six interceptions last year, he is also
just one away from 10 in his career.
351After a breakout season in 2015 in which he caught 18 passes for 1,035
yards, last year’s CFL Top Canadian Brad Sinopoli is 351 receiving yards
away from 2,000 for his career.
6With 94 tackles in his career to date, REDBLACKS defensive back Jerell
Gavins is just six away from hitting the 100-tackle milestone for his career.
40With 36 regular season as a head coach under his belt through two
seasons at the helm of the REDBLACKS, head coach Rick Campbell will
hit the 40-games coached mark when Ottawa takes on the Argonauts in
Toronto on July 13.
47If REDBLACKS kicker Chris Milo can kick 47 field goals this year, it would
set a new career high for the Montreal native, who hit 46 field goals in 2013
while with the Saskatchewan.
350REDBLACKS linebacker Damaso Munoz is 49 tackles away from 350 in his
career. The Miami native is entering his third season with Ottawa in 2016.

ALL-STARS
Following an impressive sophomore
campaign in the CFL capped off with
a trip to the Grey Cup, the Ottawa
REDBLACKS saw a number of players
off their roster pick up awards and
recognition following the season.
They include:
HENRY BURRIS, QB
OTTAWA REDBLACKS
BY THE NUMBERS
CFL’S MOST OUTSTANDING
PLAYER/TOM PATE AWARD FOR
COMMUNITY SERVICE
140
The ageless wonder led the
REDBLACKS to the Grey Cup game
while recording a CFL-record 481
completions and leading the league in
passing yards with 5,703. With Burris
on fire through much of the season, the
Ottawa REDBLACKS also finished the
season with four receivers with at least
1,000 yards on the year.
RICK CAMPBELL,
HEAD COACH
CFL’S COACH OF THE YEAR
The REDBLACKS went from a 2-16
expansion in 2015 team to 12-6 Grey Cup
runners up a year later under Campbell.
Not only was Campbell awarded the
prestigious honour at this year’s awards
ceremony, but the win also makes Rick
and his father, Hugh Campbell, the first
father-son Coach of the Year winners in
CFL History.
SIRVINCENT ROGERS,
OFFENSIVE LINEMAN
BRAD SINOPOLI,
WIDE RECEIVER
CFL’S TOP CANADIAN
Another key piece brought in to start
the 2016 season, Sinopoli – a former
star quarterback for the University of
Ottawa Gee-Gees – was the league’s
top Canadian receiver with 1,035 yards
on 86 receptions with a league-high 471
yards after the catch in his first season
with the Redblacks.
ALL-STARS
Following the 2015 season, 27 players
from across the CFL were named
All-Stars, led by REDBLACKS
quarterback and the league’s Most
Outstanding Player, Henry Burris. Of
the 27, 16 were first-time All-Stars and
eight were nationals. In all, 75 voters
– including the Football Reporters
of Canada (FRC) and the CFL’s head
coaches – submitted ballots.
OTTAWA’S 2015 CFL
ALL-STARS INCLUDED:
Henry Burris, QB
Jon Gott, OL
Abdul Kanneh, DB
THE FOLLOWING REDBLACKS
WERE NAMED EAST DIVISION
ALL-STARS IN 2015:
Henry Burris, QB
Chris Williams, WR
SirVincent Rogers, OL
TOP CFL LINEMAN
Brad Sinopoli, WR
The REDBLACKS brought Rogers
into the fold prior to the 2015 season
with the important job of protecting
Burris’ blind side. The big Texan had
an immediate impact as he and his
teammates on the O-line gave Burris
the space and time he needed to have a
career year.

HISTORY
FRANK CLAIR
Frank Clair was a football man who became
synonymous with the sport in Ottawa.
As coach, Clair guided the Riders to Grey Cup wins in
1960, 1968 and 1969. To this day, he has more wins (116)
than any other coach in Ottawa professional football
history. His 147 career CFL coaching victories (he had 31 with the Argos from 1950
to 1954) rank third all-time in league history, only behind Wally Buono and Don
Matthews.
He was one of only four men to coach CFL teams to five Grey Cup championships.
The others: Buono, Matthews and Hugh Campbell.
As a general manager, Clair added two Grey Cups with the Rough Riders in 1973
and 1976. He was inducted into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 1981.
Clair died in Sarasota, Florida on April 3, 2005 and will always be remembered by
Ottawa football fans for his contributions to the sport and his historic place in the
remarkable sports fabric of the city.
OTTAWA FOOTBALL HISTORY OTTAWA REDBLACKS
A player at Ohio State and with the Washington
Redskins as a receiver, the man who became known as
“The Professor” for his scholarly appearance and ability
to craft winning football plans became coach of the
Ottawa Rough Riders in 1956 and spent 14 seasons at
the helm of the team before moving to the front office
as general manager.

OTTAWA FOOTBALL HISTORY
HONOURING THE PAST 76 ROUGH RIDERS
232
The Grey Cup championship won by the Ottawa Rough Riders in 1976 remains a
high point in the city’s long football history.
This year, 40 years after that dramatic, final play victory and everything that led
up to it, will be honoured by the REDBLACKS in the very spot where Ottawa stood
victorious on Nov. 28, 1976.
To mark the last time an Ottawa football team won a Grey Cup, many members of
that historic squad will be on hand for the celebration on July 31 at TD Place against
Toronto, including Tony Gabriel, who hauled in the famous winning catch thrown by
quarterback Tom Clements.
The tribute will give fans an opportunity to meet and greet members of the
’76 Riders at a pre-game party and salute the team during a special half-time
ceremony.
Four decades later, that moment and the game as a whole is fondly and vividly
remembered by those who played in the game, including former Rough Riderturned-TSN 1200 REDBLACKS analyst Jeff Avery, who was a rookie in Ottawa in
1976.
HONOURING THE PAST 76 ROUGH RIDERS
“We were just focused,” he said of the moments leading up to The Catch. “TC
(Clements) is calling the plays and we're running the plays. We had a lot of
confidence in our offence and you're out there to do a job. We weren't feeling
rushed.”
As celebrations exploded in the end zone, Avery sought out his teammate.
Gabriel, for his part, said that Grey Cup win is “indelibly inscribed in my mind.” So
too is what happened right before he and Avery began celebrating in the end zone.
It's a story that became famous over the years.
“I was upset with myself because I used to do the double spike and I did it then,”
said Gabriel, who never saw the ball from the winning catch again.
At the time, neither Gabriel nor Avery could have possibly known they'd still be
telling the stories from that Grey Cup win four decades later.
“Absolutely not,” said Avery, who played seven seasons in Ottawa. “I was in my first
year, everybody figures when you're in the Grey Cup in your first year that you'll be
back. And we were back, we almost won in '81.”
As for Gabriel, he fully understands why that win still means so much for this city,
though he is quite confident there will be another moment, sooner or later, to
overtake his legend.
“The opposite could have happened, I could have dropped that ball and been
held in infamy and I would have kept running through that end zone and into
retirement,” he said. “It was a special moment in time and it was the last time a
team in Ottawa has won the Grey Cup, so it certainly has that little extra flavour. But
you know that's going to be changing soon.”
OTTAWA FOOTBALL HISTORY OTTAWA REDBLACKS
“I was just looking for Tony to give him a big friggin' hug, we were jumping up and
down in the end zone,” he said.

and events surrounding high school and
minor football throughout the region.
The Ottawa REDBLACKS look forward
to building a legacy of community
support programs.
REDBLACKS CHEERLEADING

The Cheerleading and Dance program
is led by Orléans native Lisa Aucoin
and her husband, Kenny Feeley. Kenny
was a national champion cheerleader
at the University of Louisville and
Gym Tyme All-Stars in Kentucky and
is a coach of the Canadian co-ed elite
team, five-time world champions. Lisa
is the International Regional Director

well-received in the community. This is a
goal-setting initiative aimed at inspiring
students to set goals to achieve their
dreams. The REDBLACKS players visit
students and share their stories on the
challenges they faced in their youth that
lead them to achieve their dream of
playing professional football. The Game
Plan for Success is a fun and engaging
school assembly that also touches on
the meaning of team, anti-bullying, and
self-esteem.
237
BIG JOE
The Ottawa REDBLACKS mascot, “Big Joe” in English and “Grand Jos” in French,
represents a well-known, prominent figure in both the English culture and in the
French community.
Big Joe was named after a fictional lumberjack character developed by the late
Ottawa Valley storyteller, Bernie Bedore, and made famous in a song by Stompin’
Tom Connors. The character was inspired by the legendary Joseph Montferrand, a
real life French-Canadian Outaouais logger and defender of Francophone rights in
1800s.
OTTAWA REDBLACKS
IN THE COMMUNITY
Big Joe is heavily involved in the Ottawa-Gatineau community. He really reaches
out to the younger fan base and makes many school visits throughout the season.
He is a friendly and fun Ottawa Valley lumberjack who is great with kids. He enjoys
traveling throughout the region and engaging with young football fans. Big Joe
represents the boot-stomping, lumber jacking days and embodies the history of the
lumber industry in our region.

Heading into their third CFL season, the Ottawa REDBLACKS will once again be
counting on #RNation to add that extra energy and amazing atmosphere that has
become the talk of the league over the past two seasons.
As a shout out to the club’s one-of-a-kind fan base, the new REDBLACKS uniforms
will also have a unique flare in the form of the #RNation name emblazoned on their
pants. This means that for every REDBLACKS game, our fans will continue to be
there every step of the way, in the stands and on the field.
IN THE COMMUNUNITY OTTAWA REDBLACKS
“The fans are the most important part of our organization and everything we do is
made possible by their support,” said Jeff Hunt, President of Sports for the Ottawa
Sports and Entertainment Group. “As a tribute to them, the players will carry RNation
with them into each game. It’s a privilege for us to give them that recognition.”

THE COOKIE
240
THE COOKIE:
A SYMBOL BEYOND
A REDBLACKS TOUCHDOWN
It’s become a popular tradition at
Ottawa REDBLACKS games through the
team’s first two seasons in the CFL.
When the home team scores a
touchdown at TD Place, the lumberjacks
get to work sawing off a slice piece
of the log in the home end zone after
the fireworks explode to celebrate the
score.
That wood cookie, as it has become
known over the past couple years, is
stamped with the REDBLACKS logo and
given, during an on-field celebration, to
a worthy member of the community.
Those who have received the coveted
keepsake through 19 Ottawa home
games to date have backgrounds and
reasons for being honoured that are as
diverse as the fans who pack into the
stadium on a given game day.
The REDBLACKS have honoured Dr.
James Bell, a local cancer researcher
whose treatment advancements could
one day lead to a cure. Dave Smith,
the restauranteur who has raised tens
of millions of dollars for numerous
important causes, including the Dave
Smith Centre for Youth Addiction.
Neil Doef, the teen hockey player
who suffered a serious spinal cord
injury during a hockey game last year,
legendary 67’s coach/GM Brian Kilrea
and the Max Keeping Foundation have
all been honoured with a REDBLACKS
cookie, while French Ambassador
Nicolas Chapuis was given one as a
show of solidarity following the terror
attacks on Paris in November 2015.
Ottawa cancer survivor Penny
Thompson still speaks glowingly
about what receiving the REDBLACKS
cookie in front of a packed house on
October 16 meant to her. Thompson
was diagnosed with breast cancer
in October 2012 and bravely battled
through treatment, the removal of
lymph nodes, a double mastectomy and
hysterectomy to prevent future disease
growth.
