Alouettes ditch school bus rides to practice, look forward to charter flights
MONTREAL — There will be no more travelling to practice in yellow school buses for the Montreal Alouettes.
The CFL club practised this week on a soccer field a five-minute walk from their locker-rooms at Olympic Stadium and are expected to spend most of the summer practising indoors at the stadium.
Coach Jacques Chapdelaine said details of the new arrangement should be announced next week.
In recent seasons, the Alouettes practised at Hebert Stadium, a more-than 15-minute bus ride away, wasting precious time.
