TORONTO — In November, CFL commissioner Randy Ambrosie will hand off the Grey Cup for the final time.
Ambrosie, who played nine seasons as an offensive lineman with Calgary, Toronto and Edmonton, became the league's 14th commissioner July 5, 2017, succeeding Jeffrey Orridge. His seven-plus year tenure is the second-longest ever behind the late Jake Gaudaur . But there've been signs of discontent. In September, Winnipeg president Wade Miller was critical of both Ambrosie and CFL after Blue Bombers quarterback Zach Collaros was forced to leave the club's 35-33 Labour Day win over Saskatchewan with an apparent head injury.
"The beauty of what Randy has provided for the league is this opportunity to stay in the role until a replacement is found," he said."I think it will happen when it's best to happen. And there's parity with eight-of-nine teams finishing 2024 with seven or more regular-season wins. Entering weekend action, games this year averaged 51.6 points, up 20 per cent since the league's '21 return to play.
The six-foot-four, 250-pound Ambrosie has also been a hit with a majority of CFL fans who appreciated his outgoing, gregarious personality and easy accessibility.
