OTTAWA – It seems Mike Morreale is returning to the CFL.
The former slotback will reportedly be introduced as the new president of the Ottawa Redblacks. TSN was the first to report the move.
The 55-year-old Hamilton native played 12 CFL seasons with the Toronto Argonauts (1995-96, 2002-03) and Tiger-Cats (1997-2001, 2004-06), winning two Grey Cups (1996, ’99). Morreale was the league’s top Canadian in 1998 and received the Tom Pate Memorial Award two years later for outstanding contributions to his team, community and the CFL Players’ Association.
Morreale registered 509 career catches for 6,649 yards and 24 touchdowns in 216 regular-season games.
He later served with the CFLPA as its marketing director (2007-12) and president (2012-14).
Morreale co-found the Canadian Elite Basketball League in 2017 and served as its inaugural commissioner. He left that post in October 2025.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Oct. 20, 2026.
