Kristian Matte Born in Halifax, N.S. and raised in St.Hubert Qc, started playing football at the age of nine. Played in St.Hubert and then at Vanier College and Concordia University before having a quick cup of coffee with Houston Texans and being drafted in the first round, 7th overall by the Montreal Alouettes in the 2010 CFL draft. 2010 was a very memorable year as it is the first time being part of a championship team.

 Tim has been going to Alouettes games since the team returned in 1996. As a season ticket holder since 1997, this has allowed him to be present for many great moments in Alouettes history: The return to Percival Molson Stadium in the 1997 playoffs; Mike Pringle's 2000-yards rushing in a season milestone; Ben Cahoon becoming the CFL's all-time leader in receptions. Tim currently lives in Morin Heights, Qc with his wife Karen.

Dr. Jack Bedell has been an Alouettes fan since the days of Billy "White Shoes" Johnson, Fred Biletnikoff, and Vince Ferragamo. A resident of Lousiana, he brings a different perspective on our favorite team and league. He also writes weekly columns for MontrealAlouettes.com and ProPlayers.ca
