Roy a Renegade
J.F. Roy signs pro contract with Ottawa
April 18, 2004   Bishop's Sports Information

    J.F. Roy has been known around the Quebec conference as a bookend tackle and outstanding leader, even playing both ways when called upon. That heart and desire was rewarded this past month, with Roy signing his first professional contract, a two year deal with the CFL’s Ottawa Renegades. Roy credits new Bishop’s assistant coach Leroy Blugh with giving him the opportunity to join a CFL team.

“Leroy contacted some of the teams in the CFL, sent them film, and Ottawa liked what they saw on tape," Roy said. "Leroy certainly helped me a lot.”

Roy, lineman of the year for the second year in a row at Bishop’s University, will report to camp in May with the hopes of futhering his professional dream.

"This has been a goal of mine since my CEGEP, and certainly I tried to achieve during my time at Bishop's," said Roy.
