On Tuesday, the Ottawa Redblacks continued to lock up players for the 2022 season, re-signing long-snapper Louis-Philippe Bourassa to a one-year contract extension.
Bourassa on re-signing with the Redblacks said, “I love the city, the fans, and there’s no better feeling than playing at TD Place. The trio of Lewis Ward, Richie Leone, and I with Coach Dyce at the helm on special teams, I couldn’t ask for a better situation to perform at my best. We have a great chemistry, and we all work very well together, and we strive for the same goal every year, and it makes us better individually.”
The 30-year-old from Shawinigan, Quebec, was the Redblacks’ fourth-round pick in the 2017 CFL Draft. Bourassa has played 57 games in four seasons. He helped the team win the East Division championship and the 2018 Grey Cup.
Bourassa played U Sports Football at the University of Montreal. He helped the Carabins win the Vanier Cup in 2014.
Redblacks special teams coordinator Bob Dyce on Bourassa said. “L.P. brings a hard hat mentality to our specialists. He is a tireless worker in the weight room and on the practice field, always looking for any way to improve and help the squad. His intensity is unmatched on game day.”
