Als safety trading football jersey for lawyer garb

The Alouettes are about to lose another popular veteran to retirement. Safety Matthieu Proulx is expected to announce today that he’ll be hanging up his cleats.

The twenty-nine (29) year old spent his entire six-year career with the Als after being drafted by the team in 2005.

Proulx’s decision has been a long time coming. He has struggled with injuries in recent years, missing the Als run to the 2010 Grey Cup because of a torn ligament in his knee.

Proulx shouldn’t be out of work for too long. The University of Laval graduate had already been spending his offseasons working at a law firm in Montreal.
