Neil Lumsden, a former CFL player and current Ontario Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport, has been identified as a potential candidate for the full-time president position of the Edmonton Elks.
According to two sources, Neil Lumsden , who won three Grey Cups as a fullback with Edmonton, has emerged as a candidate for the Elks' full-time president position.
The sources, including one in political circles, spoke on the condition of anonymity as the Elks have not divulged any details regarding their presidential search. Both did say Lumsden hasn't petitioned for the job, nor has he been offered it, but his emergence as a candidate makes sense given his association with the franchise and background, both in football and business.
Lumsden played 10 CFL seasons with the Toronto Argonauts , Hamilton Tiger-Cats and Edmonton . He joined Edmonton at a time when the team ruled the league, winning five straight Grey Cups . Five years later, Lumsden was named honorary chairman of the Vanier Cup that also took place in Hamilton. In addition, he spent three years as the athletic director at Brock University.
